The series consists of legal files created by the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) as it reviews and approves local laws and procedures established by "mini-PERBs" set up by local governments. Local governments may pass laws establishing such organizations, which operate in New York City, Suffolk, and Nassau counties, and a few other local governments. Although about 50 mini-PERBs have been established, most have been abolished. When a party to a local government proceeding petitions PERB to review the implementation of the local provisions and procedures (under Section 212 of the Civil Service Law), counsel's office conducts an investigation and makes a recommendation to the board. The New York City mini-PERB is exempt from this process.

These files have "I" case numbers, and include the petition application, and correspondence and memorandums relating to the investigation. The recommended board decision prepared by counsel, the final determination of the board, local laws and procedures, and questionnaires filled out by the mini-PERBs may also be included.
