• Art.: Interstate Compacts and Agreements

Text

On
the trial in any of the above-named compacting states of one charged with a crime
therein committed, if any person within any compacting state is wanted by either
party as a witness in such trial, said compacting states, their courts, and their court
officials will recognize as valid any subpoena, summons, or court order issued or
made in accordance with the law of the compacting state where trial is to be had
for the appearance of the person in said state where trial is to be had as a witness
at such trial, the same as though such subpoena, summons, or court order had been
duly issued or made by a court of the state where said witness is found; but a
resident of a state so called upon to attend as a witness in another compacting
state shall not be required to attend unless and until there is paid to him
compensation, including mileage, equal to that provided by law of the state
requiring attendance, for the time he necessarily would be gone from home; and
further, he shall be immune from the service of civil or criminal process upon him
while in attendance at said trial and when en route to and from the place where he
is to testify, as to all matters occurring prior thereto.
