§ 6.1-296. Immunity from prosecution
In any case of compulsory investigation, as provided for in § 6.1-294, of the business of a person not a licensee nor an applicant for a license under this law, no prosecution of the person so investigated for any crime, penalty, or forfeiture provided for by this chapter may be maintained. But nothing in this section shall prevent prosecution for the violation of any other criminal law or of any other law providing for penalty or forfeiture, nor shall the immunity from prosecution provided for hereby extend to any officer, agent or employee of the person whose business is so investigated, except that insofar as the Commission requires, as it may do, verbal testimony to be given by anyone not a licensee or an applicant under this chapter there shall be no prosecution of, nor proceeding against, the person so compelled to testify for any crime committed, or for imposition of any penalty or any forfeiture incurred in connection with, the subject matter as to which such testimony is compelled to be given.
