Okla. Stat. tit. 74, § 74-773

A. During any session of the Legislature, and when the

Legislature is not in session, a legislative committee shall have

power to issue subpoenas, compel the attendance of witnesses and the

production of any papers, books, accounts, documents, testimony and

evidence, and to cause the deposition of witnesses, either residing

within or without the state, to be taken in the manner prescribed by

law for the taking of depositions in civil actions in the district

courts.

B. Failure of any person to comply with any subpoena issued in

behalf of said committee or the refusal of any witness to testify to

any matters regarding which he may be lawfully interrogated, upon

application of the chairman or vice chairman of said committee or of

a member of said committee authorized thereby to make such

application, it shall be the duty of a judge of the district court

of any county to proceed with respect to such person in the same

manner and with the same powers to punish for contempt, as would be

the case if the refusal had been a refusal to comply with a subpoena

issued in a civil action, or a refusal of said person to testify in

a civil action in said court. It shall also be the duty of the

district court, when requested in the application, to issue

instanter and ex parte an order requiring such person to attend at

the time and place set out in said application to testify as a

witness, and directing such person to bring with him any book,

writing or other thing under his control, said orders to be served

as provided by law for the service of a subpoena. A judge of the

district court shall have power to punish or enforce compliance, by

attachment or otherwise, refusal to obey such orders as in other

cases of refusal to obey the orders and processes of the court. It

shall also be the duty of the judge of the district court, when

requested in the application, to issue instanter and ex parte an

attachment to the sheriff, any constable of the county, or the

sergeant at arms or assistant sergeant at arms of either house,

commanding him to arrest and bring such person before said committee

at the time and place set out in said application. If the

attachment is not for immediately bringing the witness before the

committee, the court may fix a sum in which such person may give an

undertaking with surety, for his appearance at the time and place

specified in said attachment; such sum shall be endorsed on the back

of the attachment. If no sum is fixed and endorsed, it shall be One

Hundred Dollars ($100.00). If the said undertaking is not given,

the person shall be held in the county jail until taken by the

sheriff or other authorized person to the place at said time.
