Section 1130.1140  Subpoenas

a)         Subpoenas requiring the attendance and the giving of testimony by witnesses and subpoenas duces tecum requiring the production of books, papers, records or memoranda may be issued by HFSRB or the administrative law judge upon its own motion or upon the written request of any party to the proceeding.  HFSRB or the administrative law judge may require the party requesting the issuance of subpoenas to demonstrate the relevancy of the request to the issues in the hearing.  For good cause shown, HFSRB or the administrative law judge may deny or modify the request for subpoenas.

b)         Subpoenas issued by HFSRB or the administrative law judge upon the request of a party to the proceeding shall be delivered to the requesting party who shall be responsible for serving the subpoenas.  Subpoenas shall be served personally or by certified mail.

c)         The witness fee for attendance and travel shall be the same as the fee of the witness before the Circuit Courts of this State.  When a witness is subpoenaed by HFSRB or hearing officer upon its own motion or upon the request of HFSRB staff, the witness fee shall be paid in the same manner as other expenses of the agency.

d)        Subpoenas shall be enforced in the same manner as subpoenas issued by the Circuit Courts of this State.
