HRS §621C-2
Court order to testify despite self-incrimination
A judge can order a person to testify or produce evidence in an official proceeding, even if they refuse because it might incriminate them. The order only takes effect after the person claims their right against self-incrimination and the presiding officer tells them about the order. The order must say which type of immunity applies.
