license or registration issued or impose a fine, only after a

hearing of which the applicant, registrant, or licensee affected,

shall be given at least ten (10) days’ written notice specifying the

reason for denying the applicant a license or registration, or, in

the case of a revocation or suspension or imposition of a fine, the

offenses of which the licensee or registrant is charged. The

notices may be served as provided by law for the service of notices,

or mailing a copy by certified mail to the last-known residence or

business address of the applicant, registrant, or licensee. The

hearing on the charges shall be at such time and place as the

Commission may prescribe and the aforementioned notice shall further

specify the time and place. If the applicant, registrant, or

licensee is a salesperson, or factory , or distributor

representative, the Commission shall in like manner also notify the

person, firm, association, corporation, or trust with whom he or she

is associated, or in whose association he or she is about to enter.

The Commission shall have the power to compel the production of all

records, papers, and other documents which may be deemed relevant to

the proceeding bearing upon the complaints. The Commission shall

have the power to subpoena and bring before it any person, or take

testimony of any such person by deposition, with the same fees and

mileage and in the same manner as prescribed in proceedings before

courts of the state in civil cases. Any party to the hearing shall

have the right to the attendance of witnesses on his or her behalf

upon designating to the Commission the person or persons sought to

be subpoenaed.
