11A.090 Subpoena power. For the purpose of carrying out a preliminary investigation, the commission may issue
subpoenas to compel the attendance and testimony of witnesses or the production of
documents, books, papers, or other records. Subpoenas may be issued by the chairman or
the majority of the members of the commission and shall be served in the same manner as
subpoenas for witnesses in civil cases. All provisions of law relative to subpoenas issued
in such cases, including compensation of witnesses, shall apply to subpoenas issued by
the commission. Upon petition by the commission, any Circuit Court within the
jurisdiction of which any inquiry is being carried on may, in case of refusal to obey a
subpoena or order of the commission, issue an order requiring compliance. Any failure to
obey the order of the court may be punished by the court as contempt thereof. Effective: July 15, 1996
