In 1967, the Florida Government-in-the-Sunshine Law was enacted, Chapter 286 of the state's statutes, one of many such laws around the country. The Sunshine Law establishes a basic right of access to most governing bodies of state and local agencies. Initially, the legislature was not covered under the Sunshine Law. But, in 1990, Florida voters overwhelmingly passed a state constitutional amendment mandating open meetings in the legislative branch of state government. In 1992, another constitutional amendment was passed that extended it to the judiciary.
