Under existing law, a court is required or authorized, depending on certain factors, to award to a prevailing party certain costs incurred in connection with certain civil actions. Such costs include the reasonable fees of not more than five expert witnesses in an amount of not more than $1,500 for each witness, unless the court allows a larger fee under certain circumstances. (NRS 18.005, 18.020, 18.050) This bill increases the maximum amount of that fee to not more than $15,000 for each expert witness.
