Florida's Public Records Law
Florida has one of the strongest public records laws in the nation. Under Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes, commonly known as the Florida Public Records Law or the Sunshine Law, most records made or received by government agencies in the course of official business are available to the public upon request. This law reflects Florida's deep commitment to open government and civic transparency.
At OkeechobeeRecords.us, we believe that an informed public is an empowered public. We are here to help you understand your rights and exercise them effectively.
