    19-3014.  SUMMONING WITNESS IN THIS STATE TO TESTIFY IN ANOTHER STATE. A
judge of a state court of record in another state, which by its laws has made
provision for commanding persons confined in penal institutions within that
state to attend and testify in this state, may certify (1) that there is a
criminal proceeding or investigation, by a grand jury or a criminal action
pending in the court, (2) that a person who is confined in a penal institution
in this state may be a material witness in the proceeding, investigation or
action, and (3) that his presence will be required during a specified time.
Upon presentation of the certificate to any judge having jurisdiction over the
person confined, and upon notice to the attorney general, the judge in this
state shall fix a time and place for a hearing and shall make an order
directed to the person having custody of the prisoner requiring that the
prisoner be produced before him at the hearing.
