If any person shall ask to be excused from attending or testifying or from producing any books, papers, records, contracts, correspondence or other documents at any hearing on the ground that the testimony or evidence required of him/her may tend to incriminate him/her or subject him/her to a penalty or forfeiture, and shall thereafter notwithstanding this request be directed to give such testimony or produce such evidence, he/she must nonetheless comply with such direction, but he/she 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/she may testify or produce evidence thereto, and no testimony so given or evidence produced shall be received against him/her upon any criminal action, investigation or proceeding.
