§ 51-10-08 — No immunity from self-incrimination

No person subpoenaed or ordered may be excused from attending and testifying or from
producing books, records, correspondence, documents, or other evidence in any civil action or
proceeding instituted or brought, pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, upon the ground that
the testimony or evidence required of that person may tend to incriminate that person or subject
that person to a penalty or forfeiture. No person may be prosecuted or subjected to any penalty
or forfeiture for or on account of any act, transaction, matter, or thing concerning which that
person is compelled, after having claimed the privilege against self-incrimination, to testify or
produce evidence. The provisions of this section do not exempt any person from prosecution or
punishment for perjury.
