The Nevada Open Government Coalition and the Nevada Press Association are celebrating Sunshine Week on March 18, 2025. This week is dedicated to promoting open government and transparency in Nevada and around the country. While some proposed bills in the 2025 session of the Nevada Legislature aim to increase government transparency, others, like AB51, could impose fees and limit access to public records, setting a concerning precedent. AB51 allows government agencies to charge fees for fulfilling public records requests, potentially hindering citizens’ access to information that should be freely available. The Nevada Open Government Coalition opposes AB51 and advocates for increased transparency in government. They encourage citizens to contact their legislators and voice their support for open government practices that prioritize public access to information. The coalition is a nonpartisan nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting government accountability through transparency and civic engagement in Nevada. Let’s celebrate Sunshine Week by advocating for a more open and transparent government in Nevada.
