SUBPOENAS
Operative Text
Upon written application to the commission, a complainant or respondent shall be entitled to the issuance of a reasonable number of subpoenas by and in the name of the commission to the same extent and subject to the same limitations as subpoenas issued by the commission itself. Subpoenas issued at the request of a complainant or respondent shall show on their face the name and address of such party and shall state that they were issued at his request. (Ord. 2123, § 9, passed 3-10-1980)
Under Bellevue, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 15, art. VI § 15-219, both parties to a commission proceeding—the complainant and the respondent—have the right to request that the commission issue subpoenas on their behalf. These subpoenas carry the same authority and face the same limitations as those the commission issues on its own initiative. Any subpoena issued at a party's request must visibly identify that party by name and address and note that it was issued at their request.
