A state Senate committee on Monday recommended passage of a bill that would require out-of-state law enforcement agencies to report to New Jersey authorities investigations conducted within the state's borders.
The Senate Law and Public Safety Committee passed without opposition A-2948/S-2311, introduced following revelations last year that a special unit of the New York City Police Department had been running surveillance operations on Muslim houses of worship and businesses in Newark since the mid-2000s without notifying New Jersey law enforcement.
