Maceió City Council Approves 2027 Budget Guidelines, Targeting R$5.7 Billion

The Maceió City Council (CMM) unanimously approved the 2027 Budget Guidelines Law (PLDO) on Tuesday, May 28th. This legislation outlines a projected budget of R$5.7 billion for the capital of Alagoas in 2027. The approved PLDO will now proceed to the Executive Branch for further analysis. Of the total budget, 25% is allocated to Education and 15% to Health. The LDO establishes the framework for the mayor's office in preparing the annual budget. Prior to its unanimous approval by the legislative body, the PLDO received a favorable opinion from the CMM's Constitution and Justice Committee (CCJ). Additionally, the council approved the Fiscal Recovery Program (Prefis), which addresses tax and non-tax debts incurred up to December 31, 2025, aiming to offer defaulting taxpayers a path to fiscal regularity. Several other executive branch projects were also passed, including those concerning the career plans for Municipal Works Auditors and Tax Inspectors, the regulation of Maceió's traffic agents' careers, the Maceió Municipal Guard Statute, and the creation of a bonus for technical and administrative activities within the Municipal Management Secretariat. A Public Transit School under the DMTT Maceió was also established, alongside a project to adjust the Remunerated Voluntary Service (SVR) for traffic agents.
