Whenever a witness refuses, on the basis of the privilege against self-incrimination, to testify or to provide other information in a criminal proceeding or investigation before a court, grand jury, or special committee of the Legislature authorized pursuant to section 50-404, the court, on motion of the county attorney, other prosecuting attorney, or chairperson of a special committee of the Legislature, may order the witness to testify or to provide other information.
