AN ACT concerning criminal law.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is |
amended by changing Section 115-17 as follows:
|
(725 ILCS 5/115-17)
|
Sec. 115-17. Clerk; issuance of subpoenas. It is the duty |
of the clerk of
the court to issue
subpoenas, either on the |
part of the people or of the accused, directed to the
sheriff |
or coroner of any county of this State. An attorney admitted to |
practice in the State of Illinois, as an officer of the court, |
may also issue subpoenas in a pending action. A witness
who is |
duly subpoenaed who neglects or refuses to attend any court, |
under
the requisitions of the subpoena, shall be proceeded |
against and
punished for contempt of the court. Attachments |
against witnesses who
live in a different county from that |
where the subpoena is
returnable
may be served in the same |
manner as warrants are directed to be served out of
the county |
from which they issue.
