(70 ILCS 1210/29) (from Ch. 24 1/2, par. 108)
Sec. 29.
Any person who shall be served with a subpoena to appear and
testify or to produce books and papers, issued by the board or by any
member thereof, or by any person or persons acting under the orders of the
board in the course of an investigation conducted under any provision of
this act, and who shall refuse or neglect to appear or testify, or to
produce books and papers relevant to said investigation, as commanded in
such subpoena, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall, on conviction,
be punished as provided in Section 30 of this act. The fees of witnesses
for attendance and travel shall be the same as the fees of witnesses before
circuit courts, and shall be paid from the appropriation for the expenses
of the board, and any circuit court, upon application
of any such member of the board, may, in its discretion, compel the
attendance of witnesses, the production of books and papers, and giving of
testimony before the board, or before any such investigating officer by
attachment, or contempt or otherwise, in the same manner as the production
of evidence may be compelled before the court. Every person
who, having taken an oath or made affirmation before a member of the board, or officer
appointed by the board authorized to administer oaths, shall swear or
affirm wilfully, corruptly and falsely, shall be guilty of perjury and upon
conviction shall be punished accordingly.
