§  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 financial services.
