The series consists of files relating to agency appropriations and the authorization for expenditure of state funds, reflecting the Division of the Budget's function to formulate and execute the state budget.

The files include agreements, sometimes titled "Certificates of Intent," between the governor and legislative leaders, which concern the interpretation of budget appropriation bills. Such agreements often indicate that appropriation bills might be interpreted in a manner different from the language used in the law. Consequently the records document legal budget authorizations and also show how state funds were actually used. Some agreements approve appropriations to emergency funds to be used for specified purposes.
