Florida’s Sunshine Law, which was intended to open government to the people, has been in effect for more than four decades and has seen relatively few changes or exemptions made by the Florida Legislature. This Article surveys some of the early judicial decisions interpreting and shaping the Sunshine Law, focusing on decisions by Justice Adkins, who called for a broad interpretation of the Sunshine Law and repeatedly indicated that the Law provided no exceptions. The Author contrasts Justice Adkins’ opinions with two judge-made exceptions to the Sunshine Law: the staff or “fact finding” exception and the post hoc remedial meeting exception. While these exceptions recognize practical limits on the Sunshine Law, they tend to show a move away from the broad open-government policy of Judge Adkins’s opinions and potentially misinterpret the spirit of the law. The Author then argues that the Florida Legislature needs to respond to the creation of these judicial exceptions because of the clash between these two views of the Sunshine Law. Accordingly, the Author proposes that the Florida Legislature amend the Sunshine Law to limit the staff exception and eliminate the post hoc meeting exception. By clarifying and giving bounds to these exceptions, the Author concludes that the legislature can ensure the open-government policy on which the law was based and allow officials to conduct themselves within the proper bounds.
