The supervising department, in aid of the investigation of any institution under its control,
may summon and compel the attendance of witnesses and examine the same under oath,
which any member thereof shall have the power to administer. The supervising department shall
have access to all books, accounts, papers, and property material to such investigation and may

such examination may tend to incriminate the person giving or producing it, or expose that
person to public ignominy, does not excuse that person from testifying or producing evidence,
documentary or otherwise, but no person may be prosecuted or subjected to any penalty or
forfeiture for and on account of any matter or thing concerning which the person may testify or
produce such evidence. The witness is not exempt from prosecution and punishment for perjury
committed in so testifying.
