      2.  The Labor Commissioner or a person designated by the Labor Commissioner may compel the attendance of witnesses, and may issue subpoenas.

Payment must be made from the fund appropriated for those purposes in the county in which the testimony is taken and the witness examined in the same manner as provided for the payment of witness fees in the district court of that county.

      3.  Any person subpoenaed pursuant to the provisions of this chapter who willfully refuses or neglects to testify at the time and place named in the subpoena is guilty of a misdemeanor.
