§ 18846 Commission Subpoena Authority

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the commission, its executive officer, or his or her duly authorized representative may issue subpoenas for the attendance of witnesses or the production or examination of documents before the commission, any member thereof, its executive officer, or his or her duly authorized representative. The subpoenas shall have the same effect as if they were issued in an action in superior court. The persons may also administer oaths, in all matters appertaining to their duties, the enforcement of this chapter, or otherwise connected with the administration of the affairs of the commission.
