This bill amends the Arkansas Code concerning scrivener's affidavits by expanding the list of individuals authorized to execute and record such affidavits. Specifically, it allows licensed engineers or surveyors who prepared the original survey or related documents, as well as notaries public who witnessed the execution of an original instrument containing an error, to execute and record a scrivener's affidavit under certain circumstances.

The amendments include the addition of two new categories: (5) licensed engineers or surveyors who prepared relevant documents affecting real property titles, and (6) notaries public who have acknowledged the original instrument with an error. These changes aim to streamline the process of correcting errors in property-related documents by broadening the scope of professionals who can facilitate this process.
