74-7309. Refusal to comply with order or assertion of unauthorized privilege, effect. If a person refuses to comply with an order under this act or asserts a privilege other than one arising from the attorney-client relationship to withhold or suppress evidence relevant to a claim, the board may make any just order, including denial of the claim, but may not find the person in contempt. If necessary to carry out any of its powers and duties, the board may petition the district court for an appropriate order, but the court may not find a person in contempt for refusal to submit to a medical or physical examination.
