Any party may file a request in writing for an Administrative Law Judge to issue a subpoena to require a witness to attend a hearing.
The Administrative Law Judge shall issue a subpoena under this Section if it is likely that the witness will be able to provide testimony that will be helpful in deciding the case, and if requiring the witness to appear will not be unduly burdensome or otherwise contrary to law.
Any party also may request a subpoena to require a witness to bring documents, photographs, or other materials to present as evidence at the hearing. The Administrative Law Judge shall issue a subpoena if it is likely that the requested items will be helpful in deciding the case, and if requiring those items to be produced will not be unduly burdensome or otherwise contrary to law.
A form to be used to request a subpoena is available from OAH.
If an Administrative Law Judge issues a subpoena, the party requesting the subpoena shall deliver it pursuant to §§ 2824.6 through 2824.9 and 2824.11. Unless otherwise ordered by an Administrative Law Judge, delivery shall be made at least two (2) days before the hearing.
