(225 ILCS 225/14) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 116.314)
Sec. 14.
The Director or Hearing Officer may compel by subpoena or subpoena
duces tecum the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production
of books and papers and administer oaths to witnesses. All subpoenas issued by the
Director or Hearing Officer may be served as provided for in a civil
action. The fees of witnesses for attendance and travel shall be the same
as the fees for witnesses before the circuit court and shall be paid by the
party to such proceeding at whose request the subpoena is issued. If such
subpoena is issued at the request of the Department, the witness fee shall
be paid as an administrative expense.
In cases of refusal of a witness to attend or testify, or to produce
books or papers, concerning any matter upon which he might be lawfully
examined, the circuit court of the county where the hearing is held, upon
application of any party to the proceeding, may compel
obedience by proceeding as for contempt.
