The department is authorized and empowered to administer oaths and to issue subpoenas for persons and pertinent operating records in making investigations provided in section 192A.19. If a person fails or refuses to obey a subpoena issued under this chapter, the department may apply to the district court to issue an order requiring the person to appear before the department to produce evidence or to give testimony concerning the matter under investigation. The application for the order shall be filed with the district court within the county in which the investigation is conducted or in which the person guilty of failure or refusal to obey is found or resides or transacts business or has the person's principal place of business. Any person willfully failing to obey an order of the court is guilty of contempt of court and shall be proceeded against as provided by law.
