1. The Division may summon witnesses and require the production of records, books and documents for examination at any hearing or investigation conducted by it. No person may be excused from attending and testifying, or from producing books, papers and records before the Division or a court, or from obedience to the subpoena of the Division or a court, on the ground or for the reason that the testimony or evidence, documentary or otherwise, required of the person may tend to incriminate the person or subject the person to a penalty or forfeiture. This section does not require any person to produce any books, papers or records, or to testify in response to any inquiry not pertinent to some question lawfully before the Division or court for determination. No natural person may be subjected to criminal prosecution or to any penalty or forfeiture for or on account of any transaction, matter or thing concerning which, in spite of the persons objection, the person may be required to testify or produce evidence, documentary or otherwise, before the Division or court, or in obedience to its subpoena, but no person testifying is exempt from prosecution and punishment for perjury committed in so testifying. 2. In case of failure or refusal on the part of any person to comply with the subpoena issued by the Division, or in case of the refusal of any witness to testify as to any matter regarding which the witness may be interrogated, any court of record in the State, upon application of the Division, may issue an attachment for that person and compel the person to comply with the subpoena, and to attend before the Division and produce the persons records, books and documents for examination, and to give his or her testimony. The court may punish for contempt as in the case of disobedience to a like subpoena issued by the court, or for refusal to testify therein.
