(1) A subpoena necessary to gather evidence during the investigation of a legally sufficient complaint shall be executed and issued by the executive director. The subpoena shall contain a notice that the person to whom the subpoena is directed may file a motion to quash or limit the subpoena with the Commission clerk and state the ground relied upon. At the request of any party, the Commission clerk shall schedule a motion hearing before a Commissioner designated by the Chairman to hear such non-dispositive matters. The filing of such a motion shall toll the time for responding to the subpoena. If the motion to quash is denied, the subpoena shall be complied with within five days of an oral or written ruling on the motion, whichever occurs first.
