The Board shall adopt rules for its proceedings that will enable it, without undue delay, to competently determine the facts in each matter brought before it, and to render a decision in writing consistent with the intent of this law. The Board shall have the right to issue subpoenas where required. If the Board's subpoena is not honored, the Board shall petition a court of competent jurisdiction to have its subpoena honored. If, upon a hearing in the court, the demand of the Board is lawful, the court shall enter an order compelling compliance therewith. Disobedience of such an order shall be punished as contempt of court.
