Sec. 2. (a) The worker's compensation board may make rules not
inconsistent with IC 22-3-2 through IC 22-3-6 for carrying out the
provisions of IC 22-3-2 through IC 22-3-6. Processes and procedures
under IC 22-3-2 through IC 22-3-6 shall be as summary and simple
as reasonably may be. The board or any member of the board shall
have the power for the purpose of IC 22-3-2 through IC 22-3-6 to
subpoena witnesses, administer or cause to have administered oaths,
and to examine or cause to have examined such parts of the books
and records of the parties to a proceeding as relate to questions in
dispute.
(b) The county sheriff shall serve all subpoenas of the board and
shall receive the same fees as provided by law for like service in civil
actions. Each witness who appears in obedience to such subpoenas
of the board shall receive for attendance the fees and mileage for
witnesses in civil cases in the courts.
(c) The circuit or superior court shall, on application of the board
or any member of the board, enforce by proper proceedings the
attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production and
examination of books, papers, and records.
