Sec. 28.
Testimony-Immunity.
No person shall be excused from testifying or from producing any papers,
books, accounts or documents in any investigation or inquiry or upon any
hearing ordered or held by the Redevelopment Commission, when ordered to do
so, upon the ground that the testimony or evidence, documentary or
otherwise, may tend to incriminate him or subject him to a penalty or
forfeiture. But no person shall be prosecuted or subjected to any penalty
or forfeiture for or on account of any transaction, matter or thing
concerning which he may testify or produce evidence, documentary or
otherwise, before the Redevelopment Commission; Provided, that such
immunity shall extend only to a natural person who in obedience to a
subpoena gives testimony under oath or produces evidence, documentary or
otherwise, under oath. No person so testifying shall be exempt from
prosecution and punishment for perjury committed in so testifying.
