Sec. 17.5.
Subpoenas.
The Director may issue subpoenas, may bring
before the Department any person, and may take testimony either at an
administrative
hearing or by deposition, with witness fees and mileage fees and in the same
manner as prescribed in the Code of Civil Procedure. The Director may
administer oaths to witnesses at any proceeding that the Department is
authorized by law to conduct. The Director may issue subpoenas duces tecum to
command the production of any records relating to any person. Subpoenas are
subject to the rules of the Department.
If a person fails to obey a subpoena, the Director or any person who caused
the subpoena to be issued may cause a petition for enforcement of the subpoena
to be filed in the circuit court of the county of residence or principal place
of business of the person who failed or refused to obey the subpoena or in
Sangamon County. The circuit court has jurisdiction to enforce the subpoena.
