Section 639.246 - Subpoenas; payment of witness fees and expenses1. The Executive Secretary of the Board shall issue subpoenas for the production of witnesses, documents or papers, in accordance with statutory provisions, at the request of any party to a hearing or for purposes of an investigation or other matter under inquiry by the Board.2. Witnesses appearing pursuant to a subpoena must receive expenses and witness fees in the amounts and under the same circumstances as prescribed by law for witnesses in civil actions. The expenses and fees must be paid in full by the party at whose request the witness is subpoenaed.3. Subpoenas must be served in the same manner as prescribed by law for the service of subpoenas in civil actions. If any person fails to comply with a subpoena within 10 days after its issuance, the President of the Board, or the Executive Secretary of the Board at the direction of the President, may petition the district court for an order of the court compelling compliance with the subpoena.4. Upon such a petition, the court shall enter an order directing the person subpoenaed to appear before the court at a time and place to be fixed by the court in its order, the time to be not more than 10 days after the date of the order, and then and there to show cause why the person has not complied with the subpoena. A certified copy of the order must be served upon the person.5. If it appears to the court that the subpoena was regularly issued by the Board, the court shall enter an order compelling compliance with the subpoena. Failure to obey the order constitutes contempt of court.Added to NRS by 1967, 1659; A 1993, 634; 2003, 2292Added to NRS by 1967, 1659; A 1993, 634; 2003, 2292
