(1)
(2)
When the Attorney General has reason to believe that a person has engaged
in, is engaging in, or is about to engage in any act or practice declared to be
unlawful by KRS 367.110 to 367.300, or when he believes it to be in the public
interest that an investigation should be made to ascertain whether a person in
fact has engaged in, is engaging in or is about to engage in, any act or practice
declared to be unlawful by KRS 367.110 to 367.300, he may execute in writing
and cause to be served upon any person who is believed to have information,
documentary material or physical evidence relevant to the alleged or suspected
violation, an investigative demand requiring such person to furnish, under oath
or otherwise, a report in writing setting forth the relevant facts and
circumstances of which he has knowledge, or to appear and testify or to
produce relevant documentary material or physical evidence for examination,
at such reasonable time and place as may be stated in the investigative
demand, concerning the advertisement, sale or offering for sale of any goods
or services or the conduct of any trade or commerce that is the subject matter
of the investigation. Provided however, that no person who has a place of
business in Kentucky shall be required to appear or present documentary
material or physical evidence outside of the county where he has his principal
place of business within the Commonwealth.
At any time before the return date specified in an investigative demand, or
within twenty (20) days after the demand has been served, whichever period is
shorter, a petition to extend the return date, or to modify or set aside the
demand, stating good cause, may be filed in the Circuit Court where the person
served with the demand resides or has his principal place of business or in the
Franklin Circuit Court.
