§ 55-503. Investigative powers of agency
A. The agency may initiate public or private investigations within or outside this Commonwealth to determine whether any representation in any document or information filed with the agency is false or misleading or whether any person has engaged, is engaging or is about to engage in any unlawful act or practice.
B. In the course of any investigation or hearing, the agency may subpoena witnesses and documents, administer oaths and affirmations and adduce evidence. If a person fails to comply with a subpoena or to answer questions propounded during the investigation or hearing, the agency may apply to the appropriate court for a contempt order or injunctive or other appropriate relief to secure compliance.
