• Title 28: Legislature
• Ch. 1: GENERAL PROVISIONS

Text

(a) The presiding officer of either house of the
legislature, the council, or a committee may issue a subpoena
upon request of a majority of the members of the body. Subpoenas
also may be issued on behalf of the management audit committee
as provided by W.S. 28-8-107(h).
(b) A subpoena shall be served by the sheriff or his
deputy, or may be served by any other person so designated by
the presiding officer. Service of a subpoena upon a person named
therein shall be made either by reading or by delivering a copy
to the person. The person serving the subpoena shall make proof
of service thereof to the issuing body promptly and in any event
within the time during which the person served must respond to
the subpoena.
(c) No witness before the legislature, the council, or any
committee is privileged to refuse to testify to any fact or to
produce any book, paper, or other document relevant to the
matter under inquiry on the ground that his testimony or
production of the document may tend to disgrace him or otherwise
render him infamous.
(d) Witnesses not employees of the state of Wyoming nor of
any political subdivision of the state who are summoned to give
testimony or produce documents shall receive witness fees,
travel expenses, and other expenses in the same amount as
permitted in civil cases triable in district court.
