§ 3901.23.
If any person asks to be excused from attending and testifying or from producing any
books, papers, records, correspondence, or other documents at any hearing on the ground
that the testimony or evidence required of him may tend to incriminate him or subject
him to a penalty or forfeiture and notwithstanding is directed to give such testimony
or produce such evidence, he must none the less comply with such direction, but he
shall not thereafter 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 pursuant thereto. No testimony so given or evidence produced shall be received against him upon any
criminal action, investigation, or proceeding, provided that no such individual so
testifying shall be exempt from prosecution or punishment for any perjury committed
by him while so testifying. The testimony or evidence so given or produced shall be admissible against him upon
any criminal action, investigation, or proceeding concerning such perjury. No such individual so testifying shall be exempt from the refusal, revocation, or
suspension of any license, permission, or authority conferred, or to be conferred,
pursuant to the insurance law of this state. Any such individual may execute, acknowledge, and file in the office of the superintendent
of insurance a statement expressly waiving such immunity or privilege in respect to
any transaction, matter, or thing specified in such statement; and thereupon the
testimony of such person or such evidence in relation to such transaction, matter,
or thing may be received or produced before any judge or justice, court, tribunal,
grand jury, or otherwise, and if so received or produced, such individual shall not
be entitled to any immunity or privilege on account of any testimony he may so give
or evidence so produced.
