13:1E-132 - Grant of immunity after disclosure of evidence;  failure to obey  subpena;  penalties

13:1E-132.  Grant of immunity after disclosure of evidence;  failure to obey  subpena;  penalties
    a.  If any person in attendance pursuant to a subpena or interrogatory issued pursuant to this act refuses to answer personally a question or produce evidence of any kind, or make the required answers on the ground that he may be  incriminated thereby, and if the Attorney General, in a writing directed to  that person, orders that he answer the question or produce the evidence, the  person shall comply with the order.  After complying therewith and if, but for  this section, he would have been privileged to withhold the answer given or the  evidence produced, that answer, testimony or evidence or any evidence directly  or indirectly derived therefrom, may not be used against him in any prosecution  for a crime or offense concerning which he gave answer or produced evidence; provided that the answer, testimony or evidence is responsive to the question  propounded.  That person may, however, be prosecuted or subject to penalty or  forfeiture for any perjury, false swearing or contempt committed in answering,  or failing to answer, or in producing evidence or failing to produce evidence  or failing to do so in accordance with the order.

    b.  If any person fails to obey the command of the subpena after being ordered to do so by a court of competent jurisdiction, he shall be guilty of a crime of the fourth degree.  In the alternative, if a person shall fail to obey  the command of a subpena after being ordered to do so by a court of competent  jurisdiction, the Attorney General may apply to that court to adjudge the  person in contempt and to commit him to jail until such time as he purges  himself of contempt by responsively answering, testifying or producing evidence  as ordered.
