In proceedings before a board or hearing officer under the Uniform Licensing Act, if any person refuses to respond to a subpoena, or refuses to take the oath or affirmation as a witness or thereafter refuses to be examined, or refuses to obey any lawful order of a board contained in its decision rendered after hearing, the secretary of the board may apply to the district court of the county where the proceedings are being held for an order directing that person to take the requisite action. The court may issue such order in its discretion. Should any person willfully fail to comply with an order so issued, the court shall punish him as for contempt.
