b. Assist the various departments and agencies of State Government in developing sound plans of risk management, including developing programs to protect physical assets, and developing and implementing safety programs to mitigate both the frequency and severity of accidental loss and by reviewing these plans and programs from time to time;
c. Administer the processing of all claims for the various self-administered and self-funded insurance programs of State agencies and departments, with litigation support from the Department of Law and Public Safety, except those claims processed by risk management programs, joint liability funds, or joint insurance programs established by State colleges pursuant to P.L.2010, c.99 (C.18A:64-86 et seq.);
d. Compile and distribute, on a monthly basis, accident frequency reports to the Governor, the commissioner of each principal department of State Government, and the Legislature.
