§ 249. Testimony compelled

No person shall be excused from attending and testifying or producing evidence upon any examination, hearing, or investigation conducted by or under authority of the Commissioner, on the ground that his/her testimony or the evidence required of him/her may tend to incriminate him/her or subject him/her to a penalty or forfeiture. Unless such person in writing expressly waives such privilege or immunity, he/she shall not be prosecuted or punished in any criminal action or proceeding as a result of any act, transaction, matter or thing concerning which he/she is so compelled to produce evidence or to testify under oath, except for perjury committed in such testimony; but such immunity shall not bar the suspension or revocation of any certificate of authority or license held by such person under this Code.
