Do non-profit groups follow state sunshine laws or regular state law?
Answer It depends upon state law. As for your state law on Open Records and Open Meetings See www.rcfp.org/ogg/index.php?op=browse&state=mn but change the last two letters from mn to your state’s two letter postal code (unless yours is in Minnesota) specifically at 1.B.4 is Open Records for “Nongovernmental bodies receiving public funds or benefits” and the sections nearby have the applicable discussion. I.C. has the list of Records that must be made available by applicable organizations. That organization may not even be under that classification (if it does not receive government funds or benefits) specifically at “Open Meetings” about 1/2 the way down the left column at I.C.4 “Nongovernmental bodies receiving public funds or benefits” if that applies or any of the other sections nearby apply to your situation.
