Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 65-16 of the Code of Virginia be amended and reenacted as
follows:

§ 65-16. The Commission may make rules, not inconsistent with
this Act, for carrying out the provisions of this Act. Processes and pro-
cedure under this Act shall be as summary and simple as reasonably may
be. The Commission or any member thereof or any person deputized by
it may for the purpose of this Act subpoena witnesses, administer or cause
to be administered oaths, and examine or cause to be examined such parts
of the books and records of the parties to a proceeding as relate to ques-
tions in dispute arising in instances in which the Commission has power
to grant compensation, and also in instances in which the like agency of
some state has such power, provided like services are rendered to the
Commission by such agency of such other state.
