(35 ILCS 5/915) (from Ch. 120, par. 9-915)
Sec. 915.
Immunity of Witnesses.
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 subject him 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 may testify or
produce evidence, documentary or otherwise, before the Department or an
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.
