Under the Sunshine Law, records are open for personal inspection and copying by which of the following?

• A. Any person
• B. Journalists
• C. Residents only
• D. Government employees only

Answer: (A)

Records under the Sunshine Law are open for personal inspection and copying by any person. The idea is transparency: the public has a right to review government records, not just specific groups. This means the option that says “any person” best fits, since access isn’t limited to residents, journalists, or government employees. Journalists and others are included as members of the general public, but the law isn’t restricted to them. Some records may be exempt to protect privacy or security, but the default is broad public access.
