§  837-u.  The  division  of criminal justice services, in conjunction
  with the chief administrator of  the  courts,  shall  collect  data  and
  report  annually regarding pretrial release and detention. Such data and
  report shall contain  information  categorized  by  gender,  racial  and
  ethnic  background;  regarding  the  nature  of  the  criminal offenses,
  including the top charge of each case; the number and type of charges in
  each defendant's criminal record; the number of individuals released  on
  recognizance;   the  number  of  individuals  released  on  non-monetary
  conditions, including the conditions imposed; the number of  individuals
  committed  to  the  custody  of  a  sheriff prior to trial; the rates of
  failure  to  appear  and  rearrest;  the  outcome  of  such   cases   or
  dispositions;  whether the defendant was represented by counsel at every
  court appearance regarding the defendant's securing order; the length of
  the pretrial detention stay and any other such information as the  chief
  administrator  and  the  division  of criminal justice services may find
  necessary and appropriate. Such annual report shall aggregate  the  data
  collected by county; court, including city, town and village courts; and
  judge.  The data shall be disaggregated in order to protect the identity
  of individual defendants. The report  shall  be  released  publicly  and
  published  on the websites of the office of court administration and the
  division of  criminal  justice  services.  The  first  report  shall  be
  published  eighteen  months  after this section shall have become a law,
  and shall include data  from  the  first  twelve  months  following  the
  enactment  of  this  section.  Reports  for  subsequent  years  shall be
  published annually on or before that date thereafter.
