13-11-16. Investigatory powers of enforcing authority.
(1) If, by his own inquiries or as a result of complaints, the enforcing authority has reason
to believe that a person has engaged in, is engaging in, or is about to engage in an act or practice
that violates this act, he may administer oaths and affirmations, subpoena witnesses or matter, and
collect evidence.
(2) If matter that the enforcing authority subpoenas is located outside this state, the person
subpoenaed may either make it available to the enforcing authority at a convenient location within
the state or pay the reasonable and necessary expenses for the enforcing authority or his
representative to examine the matter at the place where it is located. The enforcing authority may
designate representatives, including officials of the state in which the matter is located, to inspect
the matter on his behalf, and he may respond to similar requests from officials of other states.
(3) Upon failure of a person without lawful excuse to obey a subpoena and upon
reasonable notice to all persons affected, the enforcing authority may apply to the court for an
order compelling compliance.
(4) In the event a witness asserts a privilege against self-incrimination, testimony and
evidence from the witness may be compelled pursuant to Title 77, Chapter 22b, Grants of
Immunity.
