§ 71-0517. Witnesses not excused from testifying.
No person shall be excused from testifying or producing any books,
papers or other documents in any civil or criminal action or proceeding
taken or had under the provisions of this chapter listed in section
71-0501 or under titles 5 through 15 inclusive and title 33 of this
article, upon the ground that his testimony might tend to convict him of
a crime, or subject him to a penalty or forfeiture. But no person shall
be prosecuted, punished or subjected to any penalty or forfeiture for or
on account of any act, transaction, matter or thing concerning which he
shall, under oath, have testified or produced documentary evidence, and
no testimony so given or produced shall be received against him upon any
criminal investigation or proceeding; provided, however, that no person
so testifying shall be exempt from prosecution or punishment for any
perjury committed by him in his testimony. Nothing herein contained is
intended to give, or shall be construed as in any manner giving, unto
any corporation, immunity of any kind.
