Sec. 23. (a) A person may not be excused from attending and testifying or from producing books, papers, schedules of charges, contracts, agreements, or other documentary evidence: (1) before the state veterinarian or board, or in obedience to a subpoena of the state veterinarian or board, regardless of whether the subpoena was signed or issued by the state veterinarian, the state veterinarian delegate, or board; or (2) in a cause or proceeding, criminal or civil, based upon or growing out of an alleged violation of this chapter; on the ground that the testimony, evidence, documents, or other evidence required of the person may tend to incriminate the person or subject the person to a penalty or forfeiture. (b) A person may not be prosecuted or subjected to a penalty or forfeiture for or on account of a transaction, matter, or thing concerning which the person is compelled to testify or produce testimony, evidence, documents, or other evidence after having claimed the person's privilege against self-incrimination. However, a person testifying is not exempt from prosecution and punishment for perjury. [Pre-2008 Recodification Citation: 15-2.1-24-25.]
