and the production of books, records, papers, or other objects as
may be necessary and proper for the purposes of a proceeding.
(b) Motions for subpoenas to compel the production
of books, records, papers, or other objects shall specify as nearly
as may be the books, records, papers, or other objects desired and
the material and relevant facts to be proven by them.
(c) Subpoenas shall be issued by the director or administrative
law judge only after showing of good cause and the deposit of sums
sufficient to insure payment of expense incident to the subpoenas.
Service of subpoenas and payment of witness fees shall be made in
the manner prescribed in the Administrative Procedure Act.
