To the same extent as a court of the State in a civil case, the Mediation Service or a board may: conduct an investigation; hold hearings; administer oaths; and issue a subpoena for the attendance of a witness to testify or the production of books, papers, and other documents. If a person fails to comply with a subpoena issued under this section, on petition of the Mediation Service or board, a circuit court may compel compliance with the subpoena. A board shall petition the circuit court for the county where the board is meeting.
