and premises until his examinations and investigations are
completed; and

          (iv) Take testimony under oath and cause the
testimony to be reduced to writing. In taking testimony and
performing an investigation, the chief electrical inspector or
his designee may:

               (A) Subpoena witnesses and compel their
attendance before him;

               (B) Cause to be produced papers he requires in
the examination; and

               (C) Administer oaths and affirmations to persons
appearing as witnesses before him.
     (c) When the examination discloses that an incident
involved criminal activity, the chief electrical inspector shall
transmit a copy of the testimony to the district attorney for
the county where the incident occurred.
