Higher = stronger statutory transparency requirements.
Bahia's state fiscal transparency framework is anchored in the Constituição do Estado da Bahia (1989) and Lei Estadual 7.730/2000 (Lei Orgânica do TCE-BA), establishing the Tribunal de Contas dos Municípios do Estado da Bahia (TCE-BA) under CF/1988 Art. 75. Bahia is the largest state in the Northeast by GDP; TCE-BA covers external control of state accounts and those of the 417 municípios baianos. The federal LRF applies as binding floor. LC 131/2009 requires real-time expenditure portal. BA SEFAZ publishes 'Demonstrativo de Renúncia de Receita' for ICMS tax expenditures. TCE-BA website: https://www.tce.ba.gov.br (HTTP 200 confirmed). Fiscal year: calendar year.
