A quick definition of sunshine laws:

Sunshine laws are rules that make sure the government and some businesses have to tell the public about their meetings and records. These laws help prevent bad things like cheating and unfairness. The government made a law called the Sunshine Act in 1976 to make sure government agencies are honest and open. But there are some exceptions where they don't have to tell everything. Other laws like the Freedom of Information Act also make sure people can see important information. Some states have their own sunshine laws too, and Florida has really strong ones that make sure all government groups have to follow the rules.

A more thorough explanation:

Sunshine laws are rules that require government agencies and certain businesses to be transparent and disclose their activities to the public. The main goal of these laws is to prevent fraud, corruption, and inequality, and to maintain high ethical standards.

For example, the Freedom of Information Act is a sunshine law that requires the government to disclose certain information to the public upon request. In the medical sector, pharmaceutical companies and manufacturers are required to disclose certain information as part of their regular reporting and operating procedures.

Each state has its own sunshine laws that govern state agencies. Florida has particularly broad sunshine laws that apply to all government authorities unless specifically exempted. This includes any municipal corporation, political subdivision, and authority of any county.

Overall, sunshine laws promote accountability and transparency in government and certain businesses, which helps to prevent corruption and ensure that everyone is treated fairly.
