This bill amends the law regarding scrivener's affidavits in Arkansas, specifically updating who is authorized to execute and record such affidavits. The amendment adds two new categories of individuals who can perform this function: licensed engineers or surveyors who prepared the original survey or related documents affecting real property, and notaries public who witnessed the execution of an original instrument that contains an error and executed an acknowledgment to that instrument.

The changes are reflected in Arkansas Code 18-12-108(b), where new subdivisions are inserted to clarify the qualifications of those who may execute and record scrivener's affidavits. This expansion aims to streamline the process and ensure that qualified professionals can address errors in property-related documents effectively.
