Subpoenas for witnesses, whose evidence is deemed material to an investigation or
hearing authorized by KRS 312.150 and this section, may be issued by the board or
any officer of the board and under the seal of the board, commanding the witness to
appear before the board at a time and place to be named, and to bring books,
records, and documents that may be specified, or to submit books, records, and
documents for inspection. Subpoenas may be served by any sheriff or deputy.
When any witness who has been served with a subpoena fails or refuses to appear at
the time and place named; or fails or refuses to answer any lawful question
propounded; or fails to produce the books, records, or documents required; or is
guilty of disorderly or contumacious conduct at the hearing, the board may invoke
the aid of the Franklin Circuit Court and any order or subpoena of the court
requiring the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of
documentary evidence may be enforced and shall be valid anywhere in the state.
Witnesses shall be entitled to the same fees and mileage as they may be entitled to
by law for attending as witnesses in a Circuit Court.
Witnesses who testify under subpoena shall be entitled to the same protection and
immunities as witnesses in judicial proceedings.
