SUMMARY:

This study has as its theme the management of information, legislative information and access to information (democratization). And, for that, it is guided by the general objective of understanding how the management of legislative information can contribute to the institutional functioning, aiming at access to the bills of the Legislative Assembly of RN (ALRN). And, due to the specific objectives that are: to characterize the participants involved in the research (parliamentary); in addition to assessing the issue of transparency and access to information regarding bills from the perspective of deputies; as well as verifying the adequacy of the ALRN's management information systems regarding their effectiveness in providing access and transparency of bills; and, finally, propose actions that can be implemented to improve access and transparency of bills. In the theoretical context, it presents a literature review with emphasis on Information Management, and theoretical models of Information Management; in addition, it addresses the Access to Information Policy, and access to Legislative Information, as well as Information Transparency with a focus on the Access to Information Law. In the methodological aspect, this is an applied research, with a quantitative and qualitative approach and classified as a case study. According to the objectives, this is a descriptive and exploratory investigation. Its locus of research is the Legislative Assembly of Rio Grande do Norte. The population studied is formed by the parliamentarians (deputies) of the State of Rio Grande do Norte, with mandates in force in the legislature that ended in 2022, totaling a non-probabilistic sample for convenience of eight deputies, who answered interviews with open questions, based on the procedural model of information management proposed by Choo (2003). As for data analysis, it was performed through content analysis. From the results found, it appears that there is a need to improve the system available to insert the bills, with the aim of making it more accessible both for its internal users and for the external public, contributing to the democratization of information and publicizing the actions developed in the Legislative House. With this, some recommendations and suggestions are proposed, namely: qualification/training course, manual development, and website improvement. It concludes that the research objectives were achieved, that the results of the work can contribute to other institutions that wish to use the system. It was seen that in the context of IG, Choo's model (2003) was relevant as it supported the intervention proposal. Finally, it considers that future research is fundamentally necessary to analyze user behavior and system usability.
