Either it is too late and I am too tired to concentrate, or this sentence does not make much sense. In particular, the first half of the sentence before the comma does not seem to be logically connected to the second part of the sentence after the comma...
Is there a connecting word missing?
All enlightenment is greatly appreciated!

If there is a full stop where you placed it, there certainly is something missing. If there isn't a full stop, there is still something missing as "businesses" are not resources.
If I were you would contact the client and ask for clarification.

Comment: "Lilacas and Mike, thank you very much for your kind efforts at deciphering this horrid sentence, but I still don't feel convinced that it makes sense. Therefore, I prefer to be on the safe side and contact the client, as
trixiemck suggests. Best wishes, Olaf"

Son recursos de los Gobiernos Regionales los señalados en la Ley de Bases de la Descentralización, las empresas del Estado de alcance regional de su circunscripción que transferirá el Gobierno nacional.
\"los señalados ... la Descentralización\" all connects into \"recursos\", and this entire phrase equals \"las empresas del Estado ...\" and finally \"que transferirá\" has the subject of \"el Estado\" since it is in singular.
I hope this helps.

It's badly written, but I think
they mean that Regional State companies (empresas del Estado de alcance regional señalados en...) are REgional Government resources (recursos de los Gobiernos Regionales indicated in Law...)

State regional companies in its circumscription, to be transfered by the national government, are regional government resources as indicated in Descentralization Grounds Law .
Sorry, quite literal, but I think this is the idea.
