About · UnGovr Law

Law, scored and sourced.

UnGovr Law is a reference database of government transparency and accountability statutes — the rules that say who can demand records, attend meetings, audit budgets, and challenge inaccessible websites. We organize the text along five pillars and link each jurisdiction to the people who can enforce the law when it is ignored.

What we cover

• Fiscal — budget, contract, and spending-transparency statutes. Audit independence, procurement thresholds, payroll and asset disclosure.
• Accessibility — WCAG, ADA, EN 301 549, and comparable national and state digital-accessibility rules.
• Checks & Oversight — inspector-general, auditor, and ombudsman statutes, scored on independence and reach.
• Transparency — FOIA, FOI, RTI, and sunshine-act statutes. Response deadlines, fees, exemptions, and appeal mechanisms.
• Sunshine — notice, agenda, and public-access requirements for meetings of government bodies.

Methodology

Each pillar has its own scoring methodology. See the individual methodology pages: oversight, meetings.

Corrections

Laws change, and our coverage has gaps. If you find an error or want to add a missing law, email law@ungovr.org.
