What Is Project Sunlight?
Project Sunlight, a component of the Public Integrity Reform Act of 2011 (Ch. 399, Part A, §4, L. 2011), is an online database that provides the public with an opportunity to see the individuals and entities that are interacting with government decision-makers at certain State entities.
Effective January 1, 2013, State agencies are required to report “appearances” by individuals or firms who “appear” before State decision-makers, or persons who advise decision-makers, to an electronic database maintained by the Office of General Services (OGS). The Project Sunlight database, hosted by OGS, aggregates the inputted data and makes it available to the public for viewing on the Project Sunlight website.
