(70 ILCS 3605/42) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 342)
Sec. 42.
The Board may investigate all means of transportation and the
management thereof, the enforcement of its ordinances, rules and
regulations, and the action, conduct and efficiency of all officers, agents
and employees of the Authority. In the conduct of such investigations the
Board may hold public hearings on its own motion, and shall do so on
complaint or petition of any municipality which has adopted this Act or
which has granted rights to the Authority by ordinance. Each member of the
Board shall have power to administer oaths, and the Secretary, by order of
the Board, shall issue subpoenas to secure the attendance and testimony of
witnesses, and the production of books and papers relevant to such
investigations and to any hearing before the Board or any member thereof or
any officers' committee or employees' committee appointed by the Board to
hear any complaint of an officer or employee who has been discharged or
demoted.
Any circuit court of this State, upon application
of the Board, or any member thereof, may in its discretion compel
the attendance of witnesses, the production of books and papers, and giving of
testimony before the Board or before any member thereof or any officers'
committee or employees' committee appointed by the Board, by attachment for
contempt or otherwise in the same manner as the production of evidence may
be compelled before the court.
