Sunshine Law Training Videos

The state Office of Information Practices is pleased to provide you with a new training video to provide in-depth training on the Sunshine Law. The video is a PowerPoint presentation with a voice-over and comes in two parts, which will take a total of approximately 1-½ hours to complete. The video has been updated to reflect the changes in the law from the 2012 legislative session.

OIP is using technology to efficiently leverage its limited resources. These on-line videos (including a new training video on the Uniform Information Practices Act) provide the same content that OIP formerly presented in person, and they are now more readily available 24/7 to all government agencies as well as members of the public. By asking agencies to first view these videos for basic training on the open government laws, OIP can more effectively follow-up with specialized in-person training to answer questions and focus on agencies’ specific areas of concern.
