(a) If any taxpayer shall fail or refuse to make any report or return as required by any state tax law, or shall fail or refuse to permit an examination of its books, records or papers, or to appear and answer questions within the scope of such investigation relating to any state tax, the Tax Commission may apply to the district court of the county wherein the taxpayer resides, or to any judge thereof, for an order requiring such taxpayer to make such report or return, or requiring the taxpayer, his agents or employees, to appear to answer such questions or permit such examination; and the court, or any Judge thereof, shall thereupon issue an order, upon such reasonable notice as shall be prescribed thereon, to be served upon said taxpayer or the agent of such taxpayer directing it to appear and testify and to produce such books, records and papers as may be required. (b) Any person, or any member of any firm or association, failing to comply with such order, shall be guilty of contempt, and shall be punished as provided by law in cases of contempt; and the district court of the county in which such person resides shall have jurisdiction of contempt cases arising under this Section.
