(2)
In the discharge of the duties imposed by this chapter members of the commission,
the secretary or any duly authorized representative thereof, may administer oaths
and affirmations, take depositions, certify official acts, and issue subpoenas to
compel the attendance of witnesses and the production of books, papers,
correspondence, memoranda, and other records considered necessary and relevant
as evidence in connection with the administration of this chapter. Such subpoena
shall be served in the same manner as a subpoena issued out of a Circuit Court, and
the sheriff shall receive the same fee as provided by law for like service in civil
actions. Witnesses subpoenaed shall be allowed witnesses' fees according to the
rates prescribed by KRS 421.015 for each day their attendance is actually required
at a hearing.
The secretary or the commission, or any of their authorized representatives, shall
have the power, in any and all counties of this Commonwealth, now granted by law
to sheriffs within their respective jurisdictions, to execute and make due return of
all notices, summonses, including summonses duces tecum, subpoenas, and
executions in respect to all court actions instituted to enforce the provisions of this
chapter. The secretary, a member of the commission, or any of their authorized
representatives shall not be deemed to be an interested party in the action by reason
of his official or representative capacity.
