Okla. Stat. tit. 59, § 59-155: Investigations and hearings

The Board of Podiatric Medical Examiners shall:

1. Conduct investigations of complaints against podiatric

physicians filed with the Board pursuant to Section 149 of this

title; and

2. Initiate and conduct individual proceedings, pursuant to

Article II of the Administrative Procedures Act, against podiatric

physicians alleged to have violated the Podiatric Medicine Practice

Act, the Code of Ethics, or the rules of the Board. For such

purposes the Board, or any member thereof, is empowered to issue

subpoenas, compel the attendance of witnesses, and administer oaths

and affirmations. Subpoenas authorized by this section may be

signed and issued by any member of the Board, and shall be served,

and return of service thereof made, in the same manner as a subpoena

is served from a court of record in this state and as return of

service in such case is made. Any person failing and refusing to

attend in obedience to such subpoena, or refusing to be sworn or

examined or answer any question propounded by any member of the

Board or any attorney or licensee upon permission from the Board,

upon conviction thereof, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and

punishable as such.
