FIN §50329: (a) In making an investigation or examination authorized by this division, the commissioner may, for a reasonable time not exceeding 30 days, control access to any documents and records of the license

(a) In making an investigation or examination authorized by this division, the commissioner may, for a reasonable time not exceeding 30 days, control access to any documents and records of the licensee pertaining to the business of any residential mortgage lender or residential mortgage loan servicer. The commissioner may place a keeper in exclusive charge of the documents and records in the place where they are usually kept. During the period of control, no director, officer, partner, or employee shall remove or attempt to remove any of the documents except pursuant to a court order or with the consent of the commissioner. However, the directors, officers, partners, and employees of the residential mortgage lender or residential mortgage loan servicer may examine the documents or records. The licensee’s employees shall be permitted to make entries in the documents or records to reflect current transactions. Unless the commissioner has reasonable grounds to believe the documents or records of the licensee have been, or are at risk of being altered or destroyed for purposes of concealing a violation of this division, the licensee shall have access to the documents or records as necessary to conduct its ordinary business affairs. (b) For the purpose of any investigation, examination, or proceeding under this division, the commissioner or any officer designated by the commissioner may administer oaths and affirmations, subpoena witnesses, compel their attendance, take evidence, and require the production of any documents or records that the commissioner deems relevant. (c) In case of refusal to obey a subpoena issued to a director, officer, partner, or employee of a licensee, the superior court may issue an order requiring that person to appear before the commissioner. When before the commissioner, the director, officer, partner, or employee shall produce documentary evidence or give evidence on the matter under investigation. Failure to obey the order of the court may be punished by the court as contempt. (d) No person is excused from testifying or from producing any document or record before the commissioner, on the ground that the testimony or evidence required by the commissioner may tend to incriminate the person or subject him or her to a penalty or forfeiture. However, no individual may be penalized for any matter concerning which he or she is compelled to testify or produce evidence, after validly claiming the privilege against self-incrimination. However, individual testimony is not exempt from prosecution and punishment for perjury or contempt committed in testifying.
