'TRENTON — A state Assembly committee approved a bill Thursday that would allow some domestic violence victims to testify remotely on camera, despite questions over whether it’s constitutional.

Sandy Clark, executive director of the New Jersey Coalition for Battered Women, said the legislation might encourage some victims to participate in the prosecution of their attackers.

But some lawmakers questioned whether the law would violate the provision in the Constitution allowing suspects to confront their accusers. The Democrat-led panel voted to advance the bill while the constitutional question is researched.'
