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.
