Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(225 ILCS 317/75)

Sec. 75. Subpoena powers; administration of oath.

The Office 
or hearing officer
may compel by subpoena or subpoena duces tecum the attendance and testimony of
witnesses and the
production of books and papers.  All subpoenas issued by the Office 
or hearing officer
may be served as provided for in a civil action. The fees of witnesses for
attendance and travel
shall be the same as the fees for witnesses before the circuit court and shall
be paid by the party
at whose request the subpoena is issued. If such subpoena is issued at the
request of the Office, the witness fee shall be paid as an administrative expense.

In the case of refusal of a witness to attend or testify or to produce books
or papers
concerning any matter upon which he or she might be lawfully examined, the
circuit court of the
county where the hearing is held, upon application of any party to the
proceeding, may compel
obedience by a proceeding for contempt.

The Office or hearing officer has the authority to administer
oaths to witnesses.
