40-244. Administration of oaths and
certification to official acts by commissioners; taking of
depositions; witness fees and mileage
A. Each commissioner may administer oaths and certify to all official acts. The
commission, or a commissioner, or any party, may take depositions as in a court of
record.
B. Each witness who appears by order of the commission or a commissioner shall
receive for his attendance the same fees allowed by law to a witness in civil actions,
which shall be paid by the party at whose request the witness is subpoenaed. The fees of
a witness subpoenaed by the commission shall be paid from the fund appropriated for the
use of the commission as other expenses of the commission are paid. Any witness
subpoenaed, except one subpoenaed by the commission, may, at the time of service, demand
his mileage and one days attendance, and if not paid need not attend. A witness
furnished free transportation shall not receive mileage.
