(820 ILCS 112/25)
Sec. 25.
Witnesses; subpoena.
The Director of Labor or his or her
authorized
representative may administer oaths, take or cause to be taken the depositions
of witnesses, and
require by subpoena the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the
production of all books,
records, and other evidence relative to the matter under investigation. A
subpoena issued under this Section shall be
signed and issued by the Director of Labor or his or her authorized
representative.
In case of failure of any person to comply with any subpoena lawfully issued
under this
Section or on the refusal of any witness to produce evidence or to testify to
any matter regarding
which he or she may be lawfully interrogated, it is the duty of any circuit
court, upon application
of the Director, or his or her authorized representative, to compel obedience
by proceedings for
contempt, as in the case of disobedience of the requirements of a subpoena
issued by such court
or a refusal to testify therein. The Director may certify to official acts.
