Committee Oversight Authority

Subpoena power appears to be reserved for the Legislative Oversight and Investigations Committee (outlined here).

“Statutory committees are created by law to perform specific tasks related to oversight of the executive branch of state government” (General Assembly website).

“Witnesses before General Assembly — Privileges and compensation — Oath.

1. “Witnesses attending the General Assembly, either house or a legislative committee are entitled to the same privileges and immunities, and the same compensation, as witnesses in other cases. When summoned by the Commonwealth, they shall be paid out of the State Treasury.
2. “Chairmen of the committees of the Senate and House of Representatives may administer all necessary oaths to any person who appears or is called to testify before a committee of either house” (Kentucky Statute 6.072).
