(1) The director may hold public hearings at such times and places as he deems
proper for the purpose of investigating any of the matters he is authorized to
investigate by this article at which hearings employers, employees, or other
interested persons may appear and give testimony as to the matter under
consideration. The director has the power to subpoena and compel the attendance
of any witness and to administer oaths, also, by subpoena, to compel the production
of any books, papers, or other evidence at any public hearing of the director or at
any session of any wage board. All witnesses subpoenaed by said director shall be
paid the same mileage and per diem as are allowed by law to witnesses in civil
cases before the district court of the state of Colorado. If any person fails to attend
as a witness or to bring with him any books, papers, or other evidence when
subpoenaed by the director or refuses to testify when ordered so to do, the director
may apply to any district court in this state to compel obedience on the part of such
person. The district court shall thereupon compel obedience by proceedings for
contempt as in cases of disobedience of any order of said court in a proceeding
pending before said court. The director shall not be bound by the technical rules of
evidence. Said director may hold meetings for the transaction of any of his business
at such times and places as he prescribes.

(2) The director has power to make reasonable and proper rules and
procedure and to enforce said rules and procedure.
