Summoning
witness in this state to testify in another state.
A judge of a state court of record in another state, which by its laws
has made provision for commanding persons confined in penal institutions
within that state to attend and testify in this state, may certify (1) that
there is a criminal proceeding or investigation by a grand jury or a
criminal action pending in the court, (2) that a person who is confined in
a penal institution in this state may be a material witness in the

required during a specified time. Upon presentation of the certificate to
any judge having jurisdiction over the person confined, and upon notice to
the Attorney General, the judge in this state shall fix a time and place
for a hearing and shall make an order directed to the person having custody
of the prisoner requiring that the prisoner be produced before him at the
