§415A-24  Interrogatories by director. 
The director may direct to any professional corporation organized to practice a
profession within the jurisdiction of the director and to any officer or
director thereof, such interrogatories as may be reasonably necessary and
proper to enable the director to ascertain whether the corporation has complied
with all of the provisions of this chapter applicable to the corporation.  The
interrogatories shall be answered within thirty days after the mailing thereof,
or within such additional time as shall be fixed by the director, and the
answers thereto shall be full and complete and shall be made in writing and
under oath.  If the interrogatories are directed to an individual, they shall
be answered by the individual, and if directed to a professional corporation,
they shall be answered by the president, vice president, secretary, or
assistant secretary thereof.  The director shall certify to the attorney
general, for any action the attorney general may deem appropriate, all
interrogatories and answers thereto which disclose a violation of any of the
provisions of this chapter.



Interrogatories directed to an individual or a
professional corporation by the director and the answers thereto shall not be
open to public inspection nor shall the director disclose any facts or
information obtained therefrom except insofar as the director's official duty
may require the same to be made public or in the event such interrogatories or
the answers thereto are required for evidence in any criminal proceeding or any
other action by this State. [L 1985, c 259, pt of §1; gen ch 1985; am L 1987, c
