Welcome to MyFLSunshine.com! This website is designed to help government agencies, the media and private citizens understand Florida’s Open Government and Public Records laws.

Government must be accountable to the people. The Florida Constitution – the document which sets forth our rights as citizens of this great state – provides that the public has the right to know how government officials at all levels spend taxpayer dollars and make the decisions affecting their lives. As such, the principle of open government is one that must guide everything done in government for its public.

Florida is among the nation’s leaders in providing for public access to government meetings and records. However, simply allowing access to records is no longer enough in light of the technological advances which make it infinitely easier, cheaper and more efficient to provide information to people far and wide. This website is intended to help facilitate that process.

If you need further assistance with questions regarding public records, or you are interested in the Attorney General’s Mediation Program, feel free to contact our office at 850-245-0140.
