FACC Webinar: Florida's Government in the Sunshine Laws
Open government is a longstanding tradition in Florida, which arguably has the strongest laws in the United States. This two-hour webinar will provide attendees with critical insight into Florida’s Sunshine and Public Records Laws, including the reasons why the law supports the public's right of access to governmental meetings and records; who is subject to these laws; what qualifies as a meeting or public record; procedural requirements; exemptions and penalties for failure to comply. While this presentation will cover a lot of information; there will be ample opportunity for participants to ask questions and get feedback.
Speaker: Barbara Petersen, President, First Amendment Foundation
Moderator: Robert E. Lee, DPA, ICMA-CM, Executive Director, Center for Florida Local Government Excellence, The John Scott Dailey Florida Institute of Government
