Open Government Laws are Transparency.
Government is not transparent merely because it says it is. Transparency exists when the public can see governmental action, inspect the evidence behind it, participate before decisions become final, and challenge action taken outside the law.
Across America, open-meetings laws, public-records laws, and administrative law perform those functions together. Each reveals a different part of government, and all three are necessary to make public power visible, reviewable, and accountable.
The Open Government Law Association tests whether transparency is actually functioning—and acts when it is not.
