Ohio § 1334.07

§ 1334.07.

If 1 by his own inquiries, or as a result of complaints, the attorney general has reasonable

cause to believe that a seller or broker has engaged, is engaging, or is threatening

to engage in an act or practice that violates sections 1334.01 to 1334.15 of the Revised Code , he may investigate.  For this purpose the attorney general may administer oaths, subpoena witnesses,

adduce evidence, and require the production of relevant matter.  If matter that the attorney general requires to be produced is located outside the

state, he may designate representatives, including officials of the state in which

the matter is located, to inspect the matter on his behalf, and he may respond to

similar requests from officials of other states.  The person subpoenaed may make the matter available to the attorney general at a

convenient location within the state or pay the reasonable and necessary expenses

for the attorney general or his representative to examine the matter at the place

where it is located.  However, expenses shall not be charged to a party not subsequently found to have

engaged in an act or practice that violates sections 1334.01 to 1334.15 of the Revised Code . (B) Within twenty days after a subpoena has been served, a motion to extend the return

day, or to modify or quash the subpoena, stating good cause, may be filed in the court

of common pleas of Franklin county or the court of common pleas of the county in this

state in which the person served resides or has his principal place of business. (C) A person subpoenaed under this section shall comply with the terms of the subpoena,

unless the parties agree to modify the terms of the subpoena or unless the court has

modified or quashed the subpoena, extended the return day of the subpoena, or issued

any other order with respect to the subpoena prior to its return day. If a person fails without lawful excuse to obey a subpoena or to produce relevant

matter, the attorney general may apply to the court of common pleas of the county

in which the person subpoenaed resides or has his principal place of business for

an order compelling compliance. (D) The attorney general may request that an individual who refuses to testify or

to produce relevant matter on the ground that the testimony or matter may incriminate

him be ordered by the court to provide the testimony or matter.  With the exception of a prosecution for perjury and an action for damages under sections 1334.01 to 1334.15 of the Revised Code , an individual who complies with a court order to provide testimony or matter, after

asserting a privilege against self-incrimination to which he is entitled by law, shall

not be subjected to a criminal proceeding on the basis of the testimony or matter

required to be disclosed or testimony or matter discovered through that testimony

or matter. 1
