      1.  An appeals officer, in conducting hearings or other proceedings pursuant to the provisions of chapters 616A to 616D, inclusive, or chapter 617 of NRS or regulations adopted pursuant to those chapters, may order the attorney or representative of a party to pay any costs that are incurred by the Hearings Division of the Department of Administration for a court reporter or an interpreter.

      2.  Before ordering the payment of such costs, the appeals officer must find that the costs were incurred because the attorney or representative of a party caused a continuance or delay in a scheduled hearing by the failure of the attorney or representative, as applicable, without good cause, to comply with an order of the appeals officer or a regulation adopted pursuant to chapters 616A to 616D, inclusive, or chapter 617 of NRS.
