Lei de acesso à informação: a implantação dos requisitos de transparência ativa no município de Porto Alegre e nas prefeituras limítrofes

Abstract

The Law of Access to Public Information, allegedly in order to enhance transparency, was sanctioned in November 2011 and entered into force in May 2012, since the text provided 180 days of deployment of all requirements demanded by the Law on the websites of public institutions. The validity of the law poses the challenge of turning it into an effective instrument to support a more open and responsive government with citizen participation through social control. After two years of the deployment of the Law, we’ll analyze the deployment of the requirements of the Law of Access on the websites of city halls of the Porto Alegre and the municipalities that border the city, and the requirements of the Access to Information Act and Decree No. 7724 that sanctions, in order to verify that local governments improved their internet sites to the Law of Access.
