Each agency shall transmit such data to the law department. In the case of agencies whose employees are covered by workers' compensation or line of duty injury claims, such agencies shall also transmit such data to the office of management and budget. d. The law department and the office of management and budget shall each compile and prepare a report from the data provided pursuant to subdivision c of this section.
