A person whom the Secretary of State or a designated officer or employee does not consider to be the subject of an investigation is entitled to reimbursement at the rate of 25 cents per page for copies of documents which he or she is required by subpoena to produce. The Secretary of State or a designated officer or employee may require or permit a person to file a statement, under oath or otherwise as the Secretary of State or a designated officer or employee determines, as to the facts and circumstances concerning the matter to be investigated.

A request for an order of compliance may be addressed to:
(a) The district court in and for the county where service may be obtained on the person refusing to testify or produce the documents, if the person is subject to service of process in this state; or
(b) A court of another state having jurisdiction over the person refusing to testify or produce the documents, if the person is not subject to service of process in this state.
