Know who the law applies to
The Sunshine Ordinance is meant to make sure the public have easier access to public records and meetings.
Who it applies to
Most San Francisco agencies, boards, and commissions have to follow this law. This is true if they were created by City charter or by an ordinance or resolution passed by the Board of Supervisors.
Who it doesn't apply to
Although the Sunshine Ordinance does not apply to:
- San Francisco Health Authority
- San Francisco Housing Authority
- San Francisco Redevelopment Agency
- San Francisco Transportation Authority
- Community College District
- San Francisco School District.
These groups still have to follow certain transparency laws. They are subject to the California Public Records Act and the state's open meeting law, known as the Brown Act.
What happens next?
We will review your complaint.
If the matter is within our control, we will schedule a hearing with the full task force.
