SB1483 - 41 - LRB094 04311 RSP 34338 b

1 another party to an administrative proceeding or investigation
2 administered under this Act or under any other Act administered
3 by the Agency as the successor agency to the Department of
4 Nuclear Safety, subpoena witnesses to attend and give testimony
5 before the hearing officer designated to preside over the
6 proceeding or investigation and subpoena the production of
7 books, papers, or records that the Assistant Director or a
8 person designated by the Assistant Director deems relevant or
9 material to any such administrative proceeding or
10 investigation.
11     (b) Any patient records disclosed pursuant to a properly
12 issued subpoena shall remain confidential and exempt from
13 inspection and copying under the Freedom of Information Act and
14 protected from disclosure under the provisions of Part 21 of
15 Article VIII of the Code of Civil Procedure, with the exception
16 that such patient records shall be admissible in any
17 administrative proceeding before the Agency Department when
18 necessary to substantiate violations of this Act or any other
19 Act administered by the Agency as the successor agency to the
20 Department of Nuclear Safety and rules thereunder. Prior to
21 admission of such records into evidence or their being made a
22 part of any contested case file, all information indicating the

29 paid in the same manner as other administrative expenses of the

31 of a party to a proceeding other than the Agency Department,
32 the Agency Department may require that the cost of service of
33 the subpoena or subpoena duces tecum and the fee of the witness
34 be borne by the party at whose instance the witness is
35 summoned. In such a case, the Agency Department, in its
36 discretion, may require a deposit to cover the cost of the

 

 

SB1483 - 42 - LRB094 04311 RSP 34338 b

1 service and witness fees. A subpoena or subpoena duces tecum
2 issued under this Section may be served in the same manner as a
3 subpoena issued out of a circuit court or may be served by
4 United States registered or certified mail, addressed to the
5 person concerned at the person's last known address, and proof
6 of that mailing shall be sufficient for the purposes of this
7 Section.
8     (d) Any person who, without lawful authority, fails to
9 appear in response to a subpoena or to answer any question or
10 to produce any books, papers, records, or any other documents
11 relevant or material to such administrative proceeding or
12 investigation is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor. Each
13 violation shall constitute a separate and distinct offense. In
14 addition to initiating criminal proceedings, the Agency
15 Department, through the Attorney General, may seek enforcement
16 of any such subpoena by any circuit court of this State.
