Article 16 - Chancery

66D.

(a) The State's attorney of the county [or city, as
the case may be], for the purpose of facilitating the
performance of his duties under this subtitle, at any time
either before or after the filing of a bill or petition
under this subtitle, may require witnesses, other than the
person alleged to be the father of an illegitimate child, to
appear before him for such examination of witnesses as may
be deemed in the public interest. For this purpose he may
issue subpoenas and summonses requiring the personal
attendance of any and all persons, other than the person
alleged to be the father of said child, to give testimony in
connection with the examination or inquiry or requiring the
production of any and all documentary matter in connection
with the examination or inquiry. The State's attorney also
may administer oath and affirmations, examine witnesses, and
receive evidence. In case of disobedience to a subpoena or
summons, or the contumacy of a witness appearing before him,
the State's attorney may invoke the aid of the circuit court
of the county [or the Circuit Court No. 2 of the City of
Baltimore, as the case may be]; the court may thereupon
issue an order requiring the person to obey the subpoena or
summons and to give testimony and to produce any and all
documentary matter deemed necessary by the court for the
investigation or inquiry. In case any person, firm or
corporation fails or refuses to obey such ah order of the
court after the same has been served on the witness, the
person, firm, or corporation is in contempt of court and
shall be punished therefor, subject to the right to appeal.
