transparency legislation

Transparency legislation refers to laws designed to promote openness and accountability in government and organizations. These laws require entities to disclose information about their operations, finances, and decision-making processes. The goal is to enable the public to access important data, fostering trust and empowering citizens to hold officials accountable. Common examples of transparency measures include freedom of information acts, public reporting requirements, and disclosures about lobbying activities. By ensuring that information is readily available, transparency legislation helps combat corruption and supports informed public participation in governance.
