(a) In any proceeding arising under this act, any member of the Board, or any interested party, may take depositions as in civil proceedings and the Board may, on its own motion, and shall, upon request of any interested party, subpoena witnesses or documentary evidence, administer oaths, and examine under oath any individual relative to any hearing or investigation under this act. The subpoena may be served anywhere in the state and the service thereof shall not be limited to the county wherein the Board is located.
(b) The subpoena shall have the same force and effect and shall be served in the same manner as if issued from a court of record.
(c) Witness fees and mileage, if claimed, shall be allowed the same as for testimony in a court of record. Witness fees and mileage shall be paid by the Board, or by the person who requests the hearing.
(d) If any person fails to obey the subpoena, or obeys the subpoena but refuses to testify when required, the Board shall file a written report thereof and proof of service of the subpoena with the clerk of the district court in the county where the person resides or may be. Thereupon, the court shall forthwith cause the person to be brought before the court to show cause why he should not be punished the same as if he had failed or refused to obey a subpoena from or give testimony in such court.
