§ 62-a. Subpoenas; oaths. The chairman, vice-chairman or a majority of

a legislative committee may issue a subpoena requiring a person to

attend before the committee and be examined in reference to any matter

within the scope of the inquiry or investigation being conducted by the

committee, and, in a proper case, to bring with him, a book or paper.

The provisions of the civil practice law and rules in relation to

enforcing obedience to a subpoena lawfully issued by a judge,

arbitrator, referee or other person in a matter not arising in an action

in a court of record apply to a subpoena issued by a legislative

committee as authorized by this section. Any member of a legislative

committee may administer an oath to a witness.
