(a) Authority granted.--The board shall have the authority to issue subpoenas, upon application of an attorney responsible for representing the Commonwealth in disciplinary matters before the board, for the purpose of investigating alleged violations of the act or regulation of the board. The board shall have the power to subpoena witnesses, to administer oaths, to examine witnesses and to take such testimony or compel the production of such books, records, papers and documents as it may deem necessary or proper in and pertinent to any proceeding, investigation or hearing held or had by the board. The board is authorized to apply to the Commonwealth Court to enforce its subpoenas. The court may impose limitations on the scope of the subpoena as is necessary to prevent unnecessary intrusion into client confidential information.
