Oklahoma Statutes - Title 37a. Alcoholic Beverages Page 204

A. If a witness in attendance before the Director of the ABLE

Commission refuses without reasonable cause to be examined or to

answer a legal or pertinent question, or to produce a book, record

or paper when ordered to do so by the Director, the Director may

apply to the judge of the district court of any county where such

witness is in attendance, upon proof by affidavit of the fact, for a

rule or order returnable in not less than two (2) nor more than five

(5) days, directing such witness to show cause before the judge who

made the order, or any other district judge of the county, why he or

she should not be punished for contempt. Upon the return of such

order, the judge before whom the matter shall come for hearing shall

examine under oath such witness or person, and such person shall be

given an opportunity to be heard. If the judge shall determine that

such person has refused, without reasonable cause or legal excuse,

to be examined or answer a legal or pertinent question, or to

produce a book, record or paper which he or she was ordered to bring

or produce, the judge may punish the offender as for contempt of

court and shall fix the penalty in any sum not less than Two Hundred

Fifty Dollars ($250.00) but not to exceed Five Hundred Dollars

($500.00) or require him or her to serve a maximum of thirty (30)

days in jail, or by both such fine and imprisonment.

B. Subpoenas shall be served and witness fees and mileage paid

as in civil cases in the district court in the county to which such

witness shall be called. Witnesses subpoenaed at the instance of

the Director shall be paid their fees and mileage by the Director

out of funds appropriated by the Legislature. Court costs in the

contempt proceedings shall be paid as taxed by the court.
