(b) Upon request of any party to a hearing before the board and upon a proper showing of the general relevance and reasonable scope of the documentary or physical evidence sought, the board or its designated representative shall issue, or the board on its own motion may issue, subpoenas duces tecum.
(c) Witnesses appearing under subpoenas, other than the parties or state officers or employees, shall receive fees and mileage as prescribed by law for witnesses in civil actions.

(d) If any person, agency or facility fails to comply with a subpoena issued under subsections (a) or (b) of this section or any party or witness refuses to testify regarding any matter on which he may be lawfully interrogated, any judge of the Superior Court, on the application of the board or its designated representative or of the party requesting the issuance of the subpoena, shall compel obedience by proceedings for contempt as in the case of disobedience of the requirements of a subpoena issued by the court.
