Excerpt:
A law that would require the New York Police Department to alert New Jersey officials before conducting surveillance in the state will be taken up by an Assembly panel on Monday.
The bill comes in response to secret NYPD surveillance of New Jersey Muslims and mosques uncovered earlier this year.
Governor Christie and other state officials have denied knowing the full scope of the NYPD program before it became public, but the NYPD has insisted New Jersey officials were informed.
