AI Summary
This resolution designates the week of March 15 through 21, 2026, as "Sunshine Week" in Pennsylvania, urging all residents to observe the principles of open and accessible government. The resolution highlights the importance of Pennsylvania's Sunshine Act, which requires public agencies to hold public meetings when a quorum deliberates or takes official action, and allows public comment and recording of these meetings, and the Right-to-Know Law, which presumes government records are public and provides a process for appealing denied requests. Both laws are fundamental to ensuring residents are informed about government actions and can hold officials accountable.
