§ 41A. Subpoena powers.

The Board of Trustees may, in the enforcement of this subtitle, issue subpoenas, compel the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of books, papers, records, and documents relating to payroll records, and necessary for hearings, investigations, and proceedings. Any such subpoena shall be served by the Sheriff of Baltimore City or any of his deputies. In case of disobedience to a subpoena, the Board of Trustees may apply to a court of appropriate jurisdiction for an order requiring the attendance, and testimony of witnesses and the production of books, papers, records, and documents. Said court, in case of contumacy or refusal to obey any such subpoena, after notice to the person subpoenaed, and upon finding that the attendance, or testimony of such witnesses or the production of such books, papers, records, and documents as the case may be, is relevant or necessary for such hearings, investigations, or proceedings of the Board of Trustees, may issue an order requiring the attendance and testimony of such witnesses and the production of such books, papers, records, and documents, or any of them, and any failure to obey such order of the court may be punished by the court as contempt thereof.
