| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
| 3 |
| represented in the General Assembly:
|
| 4 |
| Section 5. The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is |
| 5 |
| amended by changing Section 115-17 as follows:
|
| 6 |
| (725 ILCS 5/115-17)
|
| 7 |
| Sec. 115-17. Clerk; issuance of subpoenas. It is the duty |
| 8 |
| of the clerk of
the court to issue
subpoenas, either on the |
| 9 |
| part of the people or of the accused, directed to the
sheriff |
| 10 |
| or coroner of any county of this State. An attorney admitted to |
| 11 |
| practice in the State of Illinois, as an officer of the court, |
| 12 |
| may also issue subpoenas in a pending action. A witness
who is |
| 13 |
| duly subpoenaed who neglects or refuses to attend any court, |
| 14 |
| under
the requisitions of the subpoena, shall be proceeded |
| 15 |
| against and
punished for contempt of the court. Attachments |
| 16 |
| against witnesses who
live in a different county from that |
| 17 |
| where the subpoena is
returnable
may be served in the same |
| 18 |
| manner as warrants are directed to be served out of
the county |
| 19 |
| from which they issue.
