Section 7562. Witnesses' fees and mileage; arbitrators' fees and expenses

(a) Except  for  the  parties  to  the  arbitration  and  their  agents,
  officers,  and  employees,  all witnesses appearing pursuant to subpoena
  are entitled to receive fees and mileage in the same  amount  and  under
  the  same  circumstances  as  prescribed  by  law for witnesses in civil
  actions.  The  fee  and  mileage  of  a  witness  subpoenaed  upon   the
  application  of  a party to the arbitration shall be paid by that party.
  The fee and mileage of a witness subpoenaed solely at the request of  an
  arbitrator shall be deemed to be a cost of the proceeding.
    (b)  Each  arbitrator's salary or fees and expenses, together with any
  other costs of  the  proceeding  shall  be  paid  from  the  arbitration
  administration  fund  established  pursuant to section five thousand six
  hundred three of the insurance law. The range of such salary or fees and
  expenses and the  manner  of  their  payment  shall  be  established  by
  regulation of the superintendent of insurance.
