(a) Generally. With the approval of the Court, the State's Attorney may order the Clerk of the Circuit Court to issue a subpoena to a witness to testify before the State's Attorney as to a crime committed in the County. The subpoena shall be directed to the Sheriff, who shall serve the subpoena as if the subpoena were issued directly from the Court.
(b) Fee. A witness subpoenaed and testifying before the State's Attorney is entitled to a fee.
(c) Failure to obey. If a person is subpoenaed to testify before the State's Attorney and the person does not obey the subpoena, the State's Attorney may request the Court to issue a body attachment directed to the Sheriff against the person named, compelling the person to appear and testify before the State's Attorney, returnable on the day stated in the attachment.
