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 aims to highlight the importance of open government and public access to government records and meetings. The week coincides with James Madison's birthday on March 16, emphasizing the foundational principles of freedom of speech and press as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.

The resolution encourages participation from various groups, including civic organizations, libraries, and student media, to foster discussions about the significance of transparency in government. It calls on all residents of Pennsylvania to engage in this observance, reinforcing the commitment to an open and accessible government in a democratic society.
