Where this section sits in the code
  1. OK Code
  2. Title 10

A. In any investigation relating to the functions of the Child

Death Review Board pursuant to Section 1150.2 of Title 10 of the

Oklahoma Statutes, the Director of the Oklahoma Commission on

Children and Youth, if recommended and approved by the Child Death

Review Board and the legal counsel for the Governor, may require the

production of, by subpoena, any records, including books, papers,

documents, and other tangible things which constitute or contain

evidence which the Board finds relevant or material to the

investigation, if the Board has been unable to obtain the necessary

information by requesting it. The production of records may be

required from any place in the state to be forwarded to the Child

Death Review Board. Reasonable copying fees shall be paid upon

request.

B. Compliance with the subpoena may be accomplished by:

1. Producing documents, as requested; or

2. Notifying the Board, in writing, of refusal to produce

documents, within ten (10) days of the date of service.

The subpoena form shall clearly set forth the optional means of

compliance including instructions for sending written notice of

refusal.

C. A subpoena issued pursuant to this section may be served by

any person designated in the subpoena to serve it. Service upon a

natural person may be made by personal delivery of the subpoena to

the person. Service may be made upon a domestic or foreign

corporation or upon a partnership or other unincorporated

association which is subject to suit under a common name, by

delivering the subpoena to an officer, to a managing or general

agent, or to any other agent authorized by appointment or by law to

receive service of process. The affidavit of the person serving the

subpoena entered on a true copy thereof by the person serving it

shall be proof of service.

D. In the case of refusal to obey a subpoena issued to any

person, the Director of the Oklahoma Commission on Children and

Youth may invoke the aid of any district court of the state within

the jurisdiction of which the investigation is carried on or of

which the subpoenaed person is an inhabitant, or in which such

person conducts business or may be found, to compel compliance with

the subpoena. The court may issue an order requiring the subpoenaed

person to appear before the Director to produce records, if so

ordered. Any failure to obey the order of the court may be punished

by the court as an indirect contempt thereof. All process in any

such case may be served in any judicial district in which such

person may be found.

E. The district court of the county wherein the subpoena is

served may quash a subpoena issued pursuant to this section upon a

motion to quash the subpoena filed with the court by the party to

whom the subpoena is issued.
