(b) Any such questionnaire, instrument or tool used to inform determinations on release or conditions of release shall be:

(i) designed and implemented in a way that ensures the results are free from discrimination on the basis of race, national origin, sex, or any other protected class; and

(ii) empirically validated and regularly revalidated, with such validation and revalidation studies and all underlying data, except personal identifying information for any defendant, publicly available upon request. 4. Supervision by a pre-trial services agency may be ordered as a non-monetary condition pursuant to this title only if the court finds, after notice, an opportunity to be heard and an individualized determination explained on the record or in writing, that no other realistic non-monetary condition or set of non-monetary conditions will suffice to reasonably assure the principal's return to court. 5. Each pretrial service agency certified by the office of court administration pursuant to this section shall at the end of each year prepare and file with such office an annual report, which the office shall compile, publish on its website and make available upon request to members of the public. Such reports shall not include any personal identifying information for any individual defendants. Each such report, in addition to other relevant information, shall set forth, disaggregated by each county served:

(a) the number of defendants supervised by the agency;

(b) the length of time (in months) each such person was supervised by the agency prior to acquittal, dismissal, release on recognizance, revocation of release on conditions, and sentencing;

(c) the race, ethnicity, age and sex of each person supervised;

(d) the crimes with which each person supervised was charged;

(e) the number of persons supervised for whom release conditions were modified by the court, describing generally for each person or group of persons the type and nature of the condition or conditions added or removed;

(f) the number of persons supervised for whom release under conditions was revoked by the court, and the basis for such revocations; and

(g) the court disposition in each supervised case, including sentencing information. * NB Effective January 1, 2020
