(65 ILCS 5/10-1-39) (from Ch. 24, par. 10-1-39)
Sec. 10-1-39.
Any person who shall be served with a subpoena to appear and
testify, or to produce books and papers, issued by the commission or by any
commissioner or by any board or person acting under the orders of the
commission in the course of an investigation conducted either under the
provisions of Section 10-1-18 or 10-1-20, and who shall refuse or neglect
to appear or to testify, or to produce books and papers relevant to the
investigation, as commanded in such subpoena, is guilty of a misdemeanor,
and shall, on conviction, be punished as provided in Section 10-1-40. The
fees of witnesses for attendance and travel shall be the same as the fees
of witnesses before the circuit courts of this state and shall be paid from
the appropriation for the expenses of the commission. Any circuit court of
this state upon application of any such commissioner, or officer or board,
may in his discretion compel the attendance of witnesses, the production of
books and papers, and giving of testimony before the commission, or before
any such commissioner, investigating board or officer, by attachment for
contempt or otherwise in the same manner as the production of evidence may
be compelled before such court. Every person who, having taken an oath or
made affirmation before a commissioner or officer appointed by the
commission authorized to administer oaths shall swear or affirm wilfully,
corruptly and falsely shall be guilty of perjury and upon conviction shall
be punished accordingly.
