Section 36a-1-42 - Hearing subpoenas(a)(1) Upon application for a hearing subpoena by a pro se party or pro se intervenor showing general relevance and reasonableness of scope of the testimony or other evidence sought, the presiding officer may issue a subpoena requiring the attendance of a witness at the hearing or the production of documentary or physical evidence at such hearing. The application for the hearing subpoena may also contain a proposed subpoena specifying the attendance of a witness or the production of evidence at any designated place where the hearing is being conducted.(2) If a pro se party applies for a hearing subpoena during a hearing, such application may be made orally on the record before the presiding officer.(3) If the presiding officer grants an application for a hearing subpoena requested pursuant to this section, the presiding officer shall promptly issue the hearing subpoena. If the presiding officer determines that the application does not set forth a valid basis for the issuance of the subpoena, or that any of its terms are unreasonable, vague, oppressive, excessive in scope or unduly burdensome, the presiding officer may refuse to issue the subpoena or may issue it in modified form.(b) Any person to whom a hearing subpoena is directed may file with the presiding officer a motion to modify or quash such subpoena, accompanied by a statement of the basis for quashing or modifying the subpoena.(c) Any motion to quash or modify a hearing subpoena shall be filed with the presiding officer prior to the time specified in the subpoena for compliance.(d) If a subpoenaed person fails to comply with any subpoena issued pursuant to this section or any order of the presiding officer which directs compliance with all or any portion of a subpoena, the presiding officer shall report to the commissioner the failure to comply with the presiding officer's subpoena. The commissioner may seek enforcement of the subpoena in Superior Court pursuant to section 4-177b of the Connecticut General Statutes.Conn. Agencies Regs. § 36a-1-42
