§ 62-a. Subpoenas; oaths. The chairman, vice-chairman or a majority of
a legislative committee may issue a subpoena requiring a person to
attend before the committee and be examined in reference to any matter
within the scope of the inquiry or investigation being conducted by the
committee, and, in a proper case, to bring with him, a book or paper.
The provisions of the civil practice law and rules in relation to
enforcing obedience to a subpoena lawfully issued by a judge,
arbitrator, referee or other person in a matter not arising in an action
in a court of record apply to a subpoena issued by a legislative
committee as authorized by this section. Any member of a legislative
committee may administer an oath to a witness.
