(1) For the purpose of an investigation or proceeding under this chapter, the commissioner may administer oaths and affirmations, subpoena witnesses, compel their attendance, take evidence and require the production of books, papers, correspondence, memoranda, agreements or other documents or records which the commissioner deems relevant or material to the inquiry. Each witness who appears before the commissioner under a subpoena shall receive the fees and mileage provided for witnesses in civil cases.
