Kan. Admin. Regs. § 19-7-6
The testimony of any witness may be taken by deposition by a party upon approval by the hearing commissioners or the presiding member any time before the hearing is closed. Unless notice is waived, no deposition shall be taken unless at least ten (10) days notice is given to all parties. The procedures utilized in the Kansas Code of Civil Procedure relative to depositions shall be utilized herein except as modified by these rules. No part of a deposition shall constitute a part of the formal record in the proceeding, unless received in evidence. Deponents and the notarial officers taking such depositions shall be entitled to the same fees as are paid for like services in civil actions before the district courts. The fees shall be paid by the party at whose instance the depositions are taken. When the party at whose instance the depositions are taken is a member of the commission or its staff, the commission shall pay such fees. Upon written application requesting deposition by written questions, the presiding member may for good cause permit such a deposition according to such terms and scope as directed by said presiding member.
