15.707 Subpoena power of Prosecutors Advisory Council.
The Prosecutors Advisory Council shall have the power to issue subpoenas
requiring the attendance of such witnesses and the production of such records,
books, papers, and documents as it may deem necessary for investigation of any
matter that it is authorized to consider or reasonably necessary therefor. Subpoenas
may be signed and oaths administered by any member of the council. Subpoenas so
issued shall be served by any sheriff, constable, police officer, or other peace officer
at the request of the council, and a return of subpoena shall be made to the council
in the same manner as similar process in the Circuit Court. Any person who refuses
to testify, testifies falsely, or fails to appear when subpoenaed, or fails or refuses to
produce documents, records, or other such material when subpoenaed, or fails or
refuses to serve a subpoena or execute a return thereon, upon citation by the
Franklin Circuit Court and after hearing by the court, shall be subject to the same
order and penalties to which persons before that court are subject. Any Circuit Court,
upon application of the council or the Attorney General, may compel the attendance
of witnesses, the production of documents, records, or other such material, and the
giving of testimony before the council.
