Relating to: the state superintendent’s power to issue a subpoena in a license revocation investigation.
AB 829 gives the state superintendent (or their designated representative) the authority to issue subpoenas during investigations into revoking professional licenses. This applies specifically to cases involving license revocation for "incompetency or immoral conduct." The bill allows the superintendent to compel witness testimony or document production using standard subpoena forms, as defined in existing law. It directly affects license holders facing revocation proceedings and individuals or entities required to provide evidence during these investigations. The change streamlines the investigation process by formalizing subpoena power within the superintendent's existing authority.
