(310 ILCS 5/24) (from Ch. 67 1/2, par. 174)
Sec. 24.
All subpoenas issued under the terms of this Act may be served
by any person of full age. The fees of witnesses for attendance and travel shall
be the same as fees of witnesses before the circuit courts of this State,
such fees to be paid when the witness is excused from further attendance,
when the witness is subpoenaed at the instance of the Illinois Housing
Development Authority or a member, officer or employee thereof, and the
disbursements made in the payment of such fees shall be audited and paid in
the same manner as are other expenses of the Illinois Housing Development
Authority. Whenever a subpoena is issued at the instance of a party to any
proceeding before the Illinois Housing Development Authority, the Illinois
Housing Development Authority may require that the cost of service thereof
and the fee of witnesses shall be borne by the party at whose instance the
witness is summoned and the Illinois Housing Development Authority shall
have power at its discretion to require a deposit to cover the cost of such
service and witness fee and the payment of the legal witness fee and
mileage to the witness when served with subpoena. A subpoena issued so
shall be served in the same manner as a subpoena issued out of a
court.
Any person who shall be served with a subpoena to appear and testify or
to produce books, papers, accounts or documents issued by the Illinois
Housing Development Authority or any member or officer thereof in the
course of an inquiry, investigation or hearing conducted under any of the
provisions of this Act and who shall refuse or neglect to appear or to
testify or to produce books, papers, accounts and documents relevant to
the inquiry, investigation or hearing as commanded in such
subpoena, shall be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
Any Circuit Court of this State, upon application
of the Illinois Housing Development Authority or a member, officer or
employee thereof, may, in his discretion, compel the attendance of
witnesses, the production of books, papers, accounts and documents and the
giving of testimony before the Illinois Housing Development Authority, or a
member, officer or employee thereof, by an attachment for contempt or
otherwise, in the same manner as production of evidence may be compelled
before such court.
