The department of justice may subpoena any person or require the production of any document to aid in investigating alleged violations of this section.

AB150-ASA, s. 3601t Section 3601t. 100.182 (5) (b) of the statutes is amended to read:

AB150-ASA,1234,5 100.182 (5) (b) In lieu of instituting or continuing an action under this subsection, the department of agriculture, trade and consumer protection or the department of justice may accept a written assurance from a violator of this section that the violation has ceased. If the terms of the assurance so provide, its acceptance by either the department prevents the other department and all district attorneys from prosecuting the violation. An assurance is not evidence of a violation of this section but violation of an assurance is subject to the penalties and remedies of violating this section.
