The Federal Law is aimed at further implementing a policy of assuring information transparency regarding the work of government agencies and local government authorities.
In particular, the law stipulates that such information is to be provided by government agencies and local government authorities to the general public through online distribution as open data.
Information provided as open data is to be posted on the Internet, while taking into account requirements by the Russian Federation’s legislation on national security information and personal data.
The Government of the Russian Federation establishes procedures for classifying information on the work of Russian regional government agencies and local government authorities as publicly available information, as well as its content and the conditions for mandatory distribution as public data.
