Summary: | This paper studies the effect of the law of Fiscal responsibility (LRF) on public finances of Alagoas' municipalities. There was the option of working a theoretical reference less formalist and more critical in relation to the introduction of the new legislation. In the methodology, we manipulated information and data available by the National Treasury Department, raising statistics on those municipalities. Based on fiscal performance and capacity ratings, it was confirmed, on the whole, the success of the pretensions of the LRF in the period 2000-2010. The calculations indicate that these limits were reached, but it was found that they do not guarantee long-term fiscal balance. We conclude that the concept of fiscal responsibility needs to be revisited and this condition does not warrant the municipalities the allocation and distribution capacity of resources more efficiently, in the context of routine changes in national economic policy. KEYWORDS: Fiscal Responsibility Law; municipal public finance; Alagoas. O trabalho estuda o efeito da Lei de Responsabilidade Fiscal (LRF) sobre as financas publicas dos municipios alagoanos. Fez-se a opcao de trabalhar um referencial teorico menos formalista e mais critico em relacao a instauracao da nova legislacao. Na metodologia, manuseamos informacoes e dados disponiveis pela Secretaria do Tesouro Nacional, levantando estatisticas sobre aqueles municipios. Com base em indices de desempenho e capacidade fiscal, confirmou-se, no geral, o sucesso das pretensoes da LRF no periodo 2000-10. Os calculos indicam que esses limites foram alcancados, mas verificou-se que nao garantem equilibrio fiscal no longo prazo. Concluimos que o conceito de responsabilidade fiscal precisa ser rediscutido e essa condicao nao garante aos municipios capacidade de alocacao e distribuicao de recursos de forma mais eficiente, no quadro de mudancas rotineiras na politica economica nacional.
