(725 ILCS 235/3) (from Ch. 38, par. 157-3)
Sec. 3.
Court
order.
If at the hearing the judge determines (1) that the witness may be
material and necessary, (2) that his attending and testifying are not
adverse to the interests of this State or to the health or legal rights of
the witness, (3) that the laws of the state in which he is requested to
testify will give him protection from arrest and the service of civil and
criminal process because of any act committed prior to his arrival in the
state under the order, and (4) that as a practical matter the possibility
is negligible that the witness may be subject to arrest or to the service
of civil or criminal process in any state through which he will be required
to pass, the judge shall issue an order, with a copy of the certificate
attached, (a) directing the witness to attend and testify, (b) directing
the person having custody of the witness to produce him, in the court where
the criminal action is pending, or where the grand jury investigation is
pending, at a time and place specified in the order, and (c) prescribing
such conditions as the judge shall determine.
