30 of 37 scored fields populated. Higher = stronger statutory transparency requirements.

Rio de Janeiro's state fiscal transparency framework is anchored in the Constituição do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (1989), Lei Complementar Estadual 63/1990 (Lei Orgânica do TCE-RJ), and LC Estadual 99/2009 (Acesso à Informação RJ). RJ is the only Brazilian estado with a confirmed state-level fiscal oversight body: the Conselho de Supervisão do Regime de Recuperação Fiscal (created under RRF — LC federal 159/2017 — following RJ's severe fiscal crisis from 2016). The RRF adds enhanced fiscal disclosure obligations beyond the LRF floor. The TCE-RJ conducts external control of state accounts and those of the 92 municípios fluminenses. The federal LRF applies as binding floor; LC 131/2009 requires real-time portal. Asset inventory required under TCE-RJ mandate and RRF compliance.
