More detail
The commission could appoint workplace investigators by written orders that set their duties. These provisions cover investigations of employment or workplaces. An investigator must be a commission member or another competent person who lives in Arizona. Investigators would have the commission’s investigation powers and the same powers to take testimony as certain officials appointed by the superior court.
