The fair housing review board shall have the following powers and duties: (a)
Receive and investigate complaints charging discrimination in housing under this chapter and shall seek conciliation of such complaints and compliance by violators;

(c) Administer oaths and take sworn testimony;

A subpoena shall be served in the same manner as subpoenas issued under the rules of the Illinois Supreme Court to compel appearance of a deponent and subject to the same witness and mileage fees fixed by law for such subpoenas. A subpoena issued hereunder shall identify the person to whom it is directed and the documents or other items sought thereby, if any, and the date, time and place for the appearance of the witness and production of the documents or other items described in the subpoena. In no event shall the date for the examination or production of evidence be less than seven days after service of the subpoena;
(e) Publish its findings of fact and issue orders in accordance with the provisions of this Code;
(f) Provide, not less often than every 12 months, a written report to the president and trustees of its activities and recommendations with respect to fair housing practices;
(g) Hold meetings which are closed to the public, but only to the extent permitted by the laws of the state; and
(h) Adopt, promulgate, amend and rescind such rules and regulations as may be necessary and desirable to carry out powers and duties of the fair housing review board.
