Code:

1. The parent or legal guardian, the child’s attorney, or the

district attorney’s office may apply for use immunity for a parent

or legal guardian for in-court testimony. The in-court testimony of

an immunized parent or legal guardian shall not be used against that

perjury that occurs during the testimony of the parent or legal

guardian in a deprived proceeding;

authorized by the court in furtherance of the court’s order. Such

immunity shall attach only to those statements made during the

course of the actual evaluation or treatment and specifically does

not attach to statements made to Department employees, agents, or

other representatives in the course of the investigation of alleged

child abuse, neglect, or abandonment.

designated by the Department or authorized by the court to perform

the court-ordered evaluation or treatment shall not be the subject

of any application or order for immunity.
