(a) The Commission may issue subpoenas and order discovery in aid of the investigations, surveys, and studies authorized under § 3004 of this title when the Attorney General has reason to believe that such subpoenas and discovery will enable the Commission to perform the duties imposed by this chapter. (b) Any subpoena, process, order of the Commission, or other paper requiring service may be served by any sheriff, deputy sheriff, constable, or employee of the Division. (c) If a witness refuses to obey a subpoena that the Commission lawfully issued or give evidence the Commission properly requested, the Commission may petition the Superior Court to compel the witness to obey the subpoena or give the evidence. The Court shall immediately issue process to the witness and hold a hearing on the petition as soon as possible. If the witness refuses, without reasonable cause or legal grounds, to obey the subpoena or give the evidence, the Court shall punish the witness for contempt.
