45.

For the purpose of any investigation or any proceeding under
Section 4B of Article IV of the Constitution of this State:

(a)     The Commission on Judicial Disabilities and the General
Assembly are empowered to administer oaths and affirmations, sub-
poena witnesses, compel their attendance, take evidence and require
the production of any books, papers, correspondence, memoranda,
contracts, agreements, other records or tangible things which the
Commission or the General Assembly finds relevant or material to
the inquiry or proceedings. Oaths and affirmations may be ad-
ministered by, and subpoena may be issued by, any member of the
Commission [of] or any officer of the General Assembly.

(b)     In case of contumacy by, or refusal to obey a subpoena issued
to, any person, by the Commission, the Commission may invoke the
aid of the circuit court for the county (or of the Superior Court
of Baltimore City) where such person resides or carried on business
or is found, in requiring the attendance of witnesses and the pro-
duction of records. Such court may issue an order requiring such
person to appear before the Commission, and there to produce rec-
ords, if so ordered. Any failure to obey such order of the court
may be punished by such court as a contempt thereof. All process
in any such case may be served wherever such person is found.

(c)     Contumacy by, or refusal to obey a subpoena issued to, any
person, by the General Assembly, may be punishable by the circuit
court for a county (or by the Superior Court of Baltimore City),
upon a complaint of the General Assembly invoked in the same
manner as in subsection (b) of this section.
