63-3808. ADOPTION OF RULES AND ISSUANCE OF SUBPOENAS. The board shall adopt and publish such rules and regulations as may be necessary to carry out its duties and amplify the procedural structure set out in this act and chapter 52, title 67, Idaho Code.
The board and each member shall have power to issue subpoenas requiring the attendance of witnesses and the production of documentary evidence in the like manner and to the same extent as courts of record. The process issued shall extend to all parts of the state and may be served by any person authorized to serve process of courts of record. The subpoena shall state the name of the board, the title of the action, and shall command each person to whom it is directed to attend and give testimony and produce the books, papers, documents, or tangible things designated therein at the time and place therein specified.
Each witness who shall appear by order of the board or a member shall receive for his attendance the same fees and mileage allowed by law to a witness in civil cases in the district court, which amount shall be paid by the party at whose request such witness was subpoenaed. If any witness shall fail to properly respond to a subpoena, the board may petition the district court in and for the county in which the proceeding is pending setting forth the issuance of the subpoena, its proper service and the basis upon which the board alleges that the witness failed to respond. The court shall enter an order directing the witness to appear before the court at a time and place fixed by the court, not less than five (5) days from the service of such order on the witness, to show cause why he has not attended and testified or produced the documentary evidence before the board. If it shall appear to the court that the subpoena was regularly issued by the board or a member and regularly served, the court shall thereupon enter an order that the witness appear before the board at the time and place fixed in the order to testify or produce the required documentary evidence, and upon failure to obey that order, the witness shall be dealt with for contempt of court.
