What is the difference between sunset laws and sunshine laws?

Answer 1

A sunset clause is a clause in a statute that specifies a date after which the law of which it is a part will no longer be in effect and will no longer have the force of law.

Government-in-the-sunshine laws are laws that specify that the proceedings of governing processes such as governing councils or administrative tribunals are to be conducted in a public manner and that the incidents thereto and records thereof are made, and kept, publicly accessible. In some States, government-in-the-sunshine laws are specified in the State Constitution, and not merely in statute.
