Lei de Acesso à Informação

Its purpose is to promote transparency, accountability, and trust in public institutions by ensuring that citizens can request and obtain data about government activities, decisions, budgets, and policies. The law sets clear guidelines on how information should be made available, balancing openness with privacy and security concerns. Essentially, it empowers individuals to be informed about public matters and to participate more actively in democratic processes.
