The sun-shine laws require government meetings to be open to the public. These laws also require government meetings to be held with advanced notice and in a place that is accessible to the public.

The type of law that prohibits public officials meeting in secret is generally called a "Sunshine Law" or more specifically, an "Open Public Meetings Act" or some similar name.

A Sunshine Law is also called a Freedom of Information Law. The Ralph M. Brown Act is an example of a Sunshine Law in California.
