Abstract
The decade of the 1970s saw the Utah Legislature enact two statutes designed in part to increase the power of the Utah Attorney General to investigate alleged criminal activity, the Subpoena Powers Act ("Subpoena Act")' and the Utah Antitrust Act. Both statutes authorize the attorney general to issue subpoenas requiring the recipient to give written and oral evidence in aid of criminal investigations. Thus, these two statutes broaden the attorney general's common law parens patriae power in criminal investigations.
