Idaho State Statutes - Idaho Attorney Directory

The director may, upon his own motion,
whenever he has reason to believe the provisions of this chapter have been
violated, or upon verified complaint of any person in writing, investigate the
actions of any commodity dealer licensed under the provisions of this chapter,
and if he finds probable cause to do so, shall file a complaint against said
commodity dealer which shall be set down for hearing before the director upon
thirty (30) days' notice served upon such license holder either by personal
service, registered mail or facsimile prior to such hearing.
The director shall have the power to administer oaths, certify to all
official acts and shall have the power to subpoena any person in this state
as a witness, to compel through subpoena the production of books, papers and
records, and to take the testimony of any person on deposition in the same
manner as is prescribed by law in the procedure before the courts of this
state. A subpoena issued by the director shall extend to all parts of the
state and may be served by any person authorized to do so.
All powers of the director herein enumerated in respect to administering
oaths, power of subpoena, and other enumerated powers in hearings on
complaints shall likewise be applicable to hearings held on applications for
the issuance or renewal of a commodity dealer's license.
Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to require the director or his
authorized representative to report for prosecution or to institute civil,
criminal or administrative action against a commodity dealer for a violation
of the provisions of this chapter when he believes that public interest will
best be served by a suitable warning or other administrative action. The
director shall maintain a record of any administrative action involving a
commodity dealer with that commodity dealer's license file.
