The House Resolution introduced by Matzie and several co-sponsors designates the week of March 16 through 22, 2025, as "Sunshine Week" in Pennsylvania. This initiative aligns with the national observance established by the American Society of News Editors and the Pennsylvania NewsMedia Association, which emphasizes the importance of open government and public access to government records and meetings. The week coincides with the birthday of James Madison, a key figure in the promotion of freedom of speech and the press, and aims to foster discussions about transparency in government.

The resolution highlights the growing participation in "Sunshine Week" from various civic groups, libraries, and student media, reflecting a collective commitment to advocating for open government. It encourages all residents of Pennsylvania to engage in this observance, reinforcing the significance of accessible government in a democratic society.
