Incriminating evidence; immunity; perjury.
No
person shall be excused from testifying or from producing any
books, papers, records, or memoranda in any investigation or upon
any hearing, when ordered to do so by the Department or any
officer or employee thereof, upon the ground that the testimony
or evidence, documentary or otherwise, may tend to incriminate
him or her or subject him or her to a criminal penalty, but no person shall be
prosecuted or subjected to any criminal penalty for, or on
account of, any transaction made or thing concerning which he or she may
testify or produce evidence, documentary or otherwise, before the
Department or any officer or employee thereof; provided, that
such immunity shall extend only to a natural person who, in
obedience to a subpoena, gives testimony under oath or produces
evidence, documentary or otherwise, under oath. No person so
testifying shall be exempt from prosecution and punishment for
perjury committed in so testifying.
