54-03.2-08. Issuance of subpoenas Every investigating committee may, by majority vote of all of its members, issue a subpoena requiring a person to appear before the committee and be examined in reference to any matter within the scope of the inquiry or investigation being conducted by the committee. The committee may also issue a subpoena or subpoena duces tecum requiring any person to appear before the committee and bring any books, papers, or other documents pertinent thereto. A person subpoenaed to attend a hearing of an investigating committee shall receive the same fees and allowances as a person subpoenaed to give testimony in an action pending in a court of record, which fees and allowances must be paid from either the legislative appropriation, or from the appropriation, if any, to the investigating committee issuing the subpoena.
