NRS 640C.750 - Investigations and hearings; oaths; examination of witnesses; payment of fees and mileage; issuance and enforcement of subpoenas.


1. The Board may conduct investigations and hold hearings to carry out its duties pursuant to this chapter.
2. In such a hearing:
(a) Any member of the Board may administer oaths and examine witnesses; and
(b) The Board or any member thereof may issue subpoenas to compel the attendance of witnesses and the production of books and papers.
3. Each witness who is subpoenaed to appear before the Board is entitled to receive for his or her attendance the same fees and mileage allowed by law for a witness in a civil case. The amount must be paid by the party who requested the subpoena. If any witness who has not been required to attend at the request of any party is subpoenaed by the Board, his or her fees and mileage must be paid by the Board from money available for that purpose.
4. If any person fails to comply with the subpoena within 10 days after it is issued, the Chair of the Board may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for an order of the court compelling compliance with the subpoena.
5. Upon the filing of 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 to show cause why the person has not complied with the subpoena. A certified copy of the order must be served upon the person subpoenaed.
6. 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. The failure of the person to comply with the order is a contempt of the court that issued the order.
