(A)The hearing
officer may, upon the request of an interested party, or upon his or her own
motion and within his or her discretion, at any time, issue subpoenas to compel
the attendance and testimony of witnesses and production of books, records,
documents and other written evidence at any hearing. If an interested party
desires the issuance of subpoenas in order to compel the attendance of
witnesses or the production of evidence at a scheduled hearing, the request
must be received in writing by the hearing officer at least five workdays in
advance of the date of the hearing in order to allow sufficient time for
preparation and service of the subpoenas. In the event that the number of
subpoenas requested by any party appears to be unreasonable, the hearing officer
may require a showing of necessity therefor, and, in the absence of such
showing, may limit the number of subpoenas.
(B)Service of
subpoenas shall be made by registered or certified mail with return receipt
requested or by personal service of an authorized agent. Proof of service shall
be evidenced by the return of such receipt or by affidavit of service.
