KRS 421.620: Court order.

If at the hearing the judge determines that the witness may be material and necessary, that

his attending and testifying are not adverse to the interests of this state or to the health or

legal rights of the witness, that the laws of the state in which he is requested to testify will

give him protection from arrest and the service of civil and criminal process because of

any act committed prior to his arrival in the state under the order, and that as a practical

matter the possibility is negligible that the witness may be subject to arrest or to the

service of civil or criminal process in any state through which he will be required to pass,

the judge shall issue an order, with a copy of the certificate attached, directing the witness

to attend and testify, directing the person having custody of the witness to produce him, in

the court where the criminal action is pending, or where the grand jury investigation is

pending, at a time and place specified in the order, and prescribing such conditions as the

judge shall determine.
