HB1234

The amendment shifts the bill from focusing narrowly on procedural requirements for subpoenas to broadly revising multiple contested case provisions, including amendments to sections 1-26-18 and 1-26-19.1 that clarify party rights, agency powers, and witness fees in addition to subpoena service requirements. This expansion BROADENS the bill's scope to comprehensively address contested case procedures rather than limiting it to subpoena service alone.

This amendment converted the bill from its engrossed (committee) version to its enrolled (final passage) version, making technical corrections such as changing "may have subpoenas issued" to "issue subpoenas" for clearer language and clarifying that subpoena notice requirements apply to "documentary evidence" specifically. The substantive changes are primarily grammatical and organizational refinements that NARROW the bill's scope slightly by explicitly requiring advance notice to all parties before serving subpoenas for documents, adding protections against unreasonable subpoena requests.
