(2) But the officer is not liable in any way, unless the person claiming the exemption makes, if required, an affidavit stating:
(a) That the person has been served with a subpoena to attend as a witness before a court, judge or other officer, specifying the same, the place of attendance and the action, suit or proceeding in which the subpoena was issued; and
