Although this section authorizes the Legislature to hold in contempt a person refusing to be sworn, when required by a committee of the Legislature pursuant to a rule of the Nebraska Unicameral, the statute does not explicitly require an oath to be administered to persons testifying before a committee. State v. Douglas, 222 Neb. 833, 388 N.W.2d 801 (1986).
