1. The Board may, in a manner that is consistent with the provisions of chapter 622A of NRS, conduct investigations, hold hearings and examine witnesses in carrying out its duties pursuant to this chapter.
2. For the purposes of this chapter, any member of the Board may administer oaths and issue subpoenas to compel the attendance of witnesses and the production of books, papers, documents and any other articles related to the practice of ophthalmic dispensing.
3. If any person fails to comply with a subpoena within 10 days after its issuance, the Board may petition the district court for an order compelling compliance with the subpoena.
4. Upon such a petition, the court shall enter an order directing the person subpoenaed to appear before the court at a time and place to be fixed by the court in its order, the time to be not more than 10 days after the date of the order, and to show cause why the person has not complied with the subpoena. A certified copy of the order must be served upon the person subpoenaed.
5. If it appears to the court that the subpoena was regularly issued by the Board, the court shall enter an order compelling compliance with the subpoena, and upon failure to obey the order, the person must be dealt with as for contempt of court.
