§486-23 Investigations; power to subpoena.
The administrator shall investigate complaints deemed appropriate and
advisable to develop information on prevailing procedures in commercial
quantity determination and on possible violations of this chapter and to
promote the general objective of accuracy in the determination and
representation of quantity in commercial transactions. In the course of any
investigation, the administrator is empowered to subpoena witnesses, examine
them under oath, and require the production of books, papers, documents,
records, or objects which the administrator deems relevant or material to the
inquiry. Upon application by the administrator, compliance with the subpoena
may be enforced by the circuit court in the county where the person subpoenaed
resides or is found in the same manner as a subpoena issued by the clerk of a
circuit court. In addition, the administrator may conduct hearings in aid of
any investigation or inquiry. [L 1988, c 156, pt of §3; am L 1991, c 153, §13]
