Cal. Civ. Code § 22-9.5-8.1-4
Sec. 4. The attorney general, on behalf of the

this chapter, may enforce the subpoena in appropriate proceedings in
the court in which the action is filed.

Plain English

Indiana Code § 22-9.5-8.1-4 establishes that the state attorney general has the authority to take a subpoena issued under this chapter into court and seek judicial enforcement on behalf of the civil rights commission or another requesting party. This means that if a subpoena goes unheeded, there is a formal legal mechanism to compel compliance through the courts. The provision ties enforcement to the specific court where the underlying action is already pending.

For Property Managers

Under Ind. Code § 22-9.5-8.1-4, property owners and managers involved in fair housing proceedings should be aware that subpoenas issued during those proceedings carry real legal weight, backed by the attorney general's power to seek court enforcement. Compliant operators generally respond promptly and fully to any subpoena received in connection with a housing discrimination investigation or action. Ignoring or resisting a subpoena in these proceedings can lead to formal judicial enforcement action in the court where the case is filed.

For Tenants

Ind. Code § 22-9.5-8.1-4 can be relevant to tenants who are parties to a fair housing complaint, because it means the attorney general can step in to enforce subpoenas that support the investigation or hearing process. This provision helps ensure that evidence and testimony can be compelled from parties who might otherwise be unresponsive. Tenants navigating a fair housing proceeding may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid office to understand how subpoena enforcement could affect their case.
