§442-10 Proceedings for revocation, suspension, limitation, restriction, or placement under probation of license. (a) In any proceeding for the revocation, suspension, limitation, restriction, or placement under probation of a license under this chapter for any act or condition listed in section 442-9, the person whose license is the subject of the proceeding shall be given notice and opportunity for hearing in conformity with chapter 91.
In any such proceeding, the board may subpoena, administer oaths to, and examine witnesses on any relevant matter in such proceeding. The person whose license is the subject of the proceeding shall be entitled to require the board or any member thereof to subpoena and to administer oaths to any witness or witnesses who may be able to present evidence relevant in such proceeding, and shall be entitled to examine any such witness and any other witness in such proceeding. The circuit court of the circuit in which the proceeding is held shall have power to enforce by proper proceeding the attendance and testimony of witnesses in such proceeding.
(b) If any person called before the board as a witness in such proceeding, whether under subpoena or otherwise, except as privileged by law, refuses to answer any question which is relevant to the proceeding and is put to the witness by the board, a member thereof, or the person whose license is the subject of the proceeding, or disobeys any order of the circuit court relating to the proceeding, the board shall report the matter in writing to any judge of the circuit court of the circuit in which such proceeding is held and such person shall be cited to appear before the circuit judge to show cause why the person should not be punished for contempt of court under section 710-1077.
(c) Any person who wilfully and knowingly makes under oath any false statement in connection with any such proceeding before the board shall be guilty of perjury and shall be subject to the penalty prescribed by law for perjury. Whenever the board is satisfied that a witness has committed perjury in any proceeding before the board, it shall report the same to the prosecuting officer of the county in which the perjury took place, who shall prosecute the witness for perjury.
