17-229-100 Me. Code R. § 07
Any party to a hearing may request the Commissioner to issue subpoenas in the name of the department to compel the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of evidence relating to any issue of fact in the hearing. The form of the subpoenas shall conform, insofar as practicable, to the form used in civil cases before the courts. Witnesses subpoenaed shall be paid the same fees for attendance and travel as in civil cases before the courts. Such fees shall be paid in advance by the party requesting the subpoena.
Any subpoena issued shall show on its face the name and address of the party at whose request it was issued.
Any witness subpoenaed may petition the department to vacate or modify a subpoena issued in its name. The department, after appropriate investigation, may grant the petition in whole or part, if it finds that the testimony or the evidence whose production is required does not relate with reasonable directness to any matter in question, or that a subpoena for the attendance of a witness or the production of evidence is unreasonable, oppressive or has not been issued within a reasonable period prior to the time when the evidence is requested.
Failure to comply with a properly issued subpoena which has not been revoked or modified by the department shall be punishable by contempt of court.
