Subpoena Powers

The Chairperson of the Guam Commission for Educator Certification, upon his/her own initiative, upon the request of any member of the Commission, or upon the request of any party before the Commission, may summon in writing any person before a meeting of the Commission as a witness and in a proper case, to bring with him/her any book, record, or paper which may be deemed material as evidence in the case. The fees for such attendance shall be the same as the fees of witnesses before the Superior Court, except that if the witness is a government employee no witness fees shall be given. The subpoena shall issue in the name of the Guam Commission for Educator Certification, and shall be directed to the person and shall be served in the same manner as subpoenas to testify before the court. If any person or persons summoned to testify shall refuse or neglect to obey said subpoena, upon petition, the court may compel the attendance of such person or persons before the Commission, or punish said person or persons for contempt in the same manner provided by law for securing the attendance of witnesses and of their punishment for neglect or refusal to attend in the Superior Court.
