ANNOTATION

The board's declaratory order to comply with the provisions of a subpoena within a set period of time does not constitute enforcement of the subpoena, but rather establishes a time frame within which a person subject to the subpoena must comply in order to avoid enforcement by a court of competent jurisdiction.
