Since the initial adoption of the Sunrise Code of Ethics in 1985, the City of Sunrise has been committed to ethical and transparent government. In addition to strengthening the Code of Ethics from time to time, in 2007 the Sunrise City Commission designed a comprehensive means of monitoring and regulating lobbyists' activities and expenditures. The Broward County Commission augmented these practices by extending their uniform standards governing behavior and reporting to all Broward County municipal elected officials and lobbyists.
