  • contempt
  • director to make rules

(1)

The director may hold public hearings at such times and places as he deems proper for the purpose of investigating any of the matters he is authorized to investigate by this article at which hearings employers, employees, or other interested persons may appear and give testimony as to the matter under consideration. The director has the power to subpoena and compel the attendance of any witness and to administer oaths, also, by subpoena, to compel the production of any books, papers, or other evidence at any public hearing of the director or at any session of any wage board. All witnesses subpoenaed by said director shall be paid the same mileage and per diem as are allowed by law to witnesses in civil cases before the district court of the state of Colorado. If any person fails to attend as a witness or to bring with him any books, papers, or other evidence when subpoenaed by the director or refuses to testify when ordered so to do, the director may apply to any district court in this state to compel obedience on the part of such person. The district court shall thereupon compel obedience by proceedings for contempt as in cases of disobedience of any order of said court in a proceeding pending before said court. The director shall not be bound by the technical rules of evidence. Said director may hold meetings for the transaction of any of his business at such times and places as he prescribes.

(2)

The director has power to make reasonable and proper rules and procedure and to enforce said rules and procedure.
