(820 ILCS 405/1002) (from Ch. 48, par. 502)
Sec. 1002.
Attendance of witnesses - Production of papers.
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.
The payment of such fees shall be made in the same manner as are other
expenses incurred in the administration of this Act. A subpoena issued 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 Director or
by any claims adjudicator or other representative of the Director, or by
any Referee or the Board of Review, or member thereof, in the course of an
inquiry, investigation, or hearing conducted under any of the provisions of
this Act, and who refuses or neglects to appear or to testify or to produce
books, papers, accounts, and documents relevant to said 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
by the Director, or claims adjudicator, or other representative of the
Director, or by any Referee or the Board of Review, or any member thereof,
may, in its discretion, compel the attendance of witnesses, the
production of books, papers, accounts, and documents, and the giving of
testimony before such person or Board by an attachment for contempt or
otherwise, in the same manner as production of evidence may be compelled
before the court.
