What is now known as the 'Sunshine Law' was passed in 1909 and was originally known as the Open Records Law.

• A. Florida's Law
• B. The Security Rule
• C. Public Records Law
• D. Open Records Law

Answer: (D)

The idea being tested is government transparency through public access to information and records. The Sunshine Law refers to laws that require open government, letting the public see how officials operate. Historically, the statute that became known as the Sunshine Law started out in 1909 as the Open Records Law, laying the groundwork for public access to government documents. That link to the Open Records Law is why Open Records Law is the best answer. The other options don’t fit this historical naming: the Security Rule relates to data privacy and security, Florida's Law is too vague, and Public Records Law is a general term, while the specific historical name that evolved into the Sunshine Law was the Open Records Law.
