Montana Title 7. Local Government § 7-32-4159. Subpoena authority of police commission

The presiding officer or acting presiding officer of the police commission may issue subpoenas, attested in its name, to compel the attendance of witnesses at the hearing, and any person served with a subpoena is bound to attend in obedience to the subpoena. The police commission has the same authority to enforce obedience to the subpoena and to punish the disobedience to the subpoena as is possessed by a judge of the district court in similar cases. However, punishment for disobedience is subject to review by the district court of the proper county.
