Title XXIV BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS

361.096. Board may subpoena witnesses at hearings — oaths — enforcement of subpoena or testimony. — 1. At any hearing provided for in section 361.094, the state banking and savings and loan board, or any member thereof, shall have power to administer oaths.

2. In connection with any such hearing, the board, or any member thereof, shall issue subpoenas and subpoenas duces tecum on the board's own motion or at the request of any intervenor or other party, which subpoenas or subpoenas duces tecum shall extend to all parts of the state and shall be signed by the secretary of the board or by any other member thereof. The board shall have power, on motion after due notice, for good cause to quash or modify any subpoena or subpoena duces tecum on the grounds that the same is unduly burdensome, unreasonable or oppressive. Subpoenas and subpoenas duces tecum may be served as in the case of subpoenas in civil actions in the circuit court and each witness who shall appear before the board in obedience to a subpoena or subpoena duces tecum shall receive for his attendance the fees and mileage provided for witnesses in civil actions in the circuit court, which shall be paid by the party at whose instance such subpoena or subpoena duces tecum was issued. In case of refusal of a witness to obey any such subpoena or subpoena duces tecum, or to testify when lawfully required to do so, the board may apply to a judge of the circuit court of the county of the hearing or of any county where the witness resides or may be found, for an order upon such witness to show cause why such subpoena or subpoena duces tecum should not be enforced, or the witness required to give such testimony, which said order and a copy of the application therefor shall be served upon the witness in the same manner as a summons in a civil action, and if said circuit court shall, after a hearing, determine that the subpoena or subpoena duces tecum should be sustained and enforced, or that the witness should be required to give such testimony, said court shall make an order to enforce such subpoena or subpoena duces tecum, or compel such testimony and may enforce such order as in the case of a subpoena or subpoena duces tecum, or refusal to testify, in a civil action in the circuit court.
