The bill amends Arkansas Code 18-16-105, which pertains to the termination of oral leases for farmlands. It allows landowners who have rented or leased their farmlands under an oral agreement to notify renters or lessees of non-renewal for the following calendar year. The key change in the bill is the method of delivering this notice; it removes the requirement for the notice to be sent via certified mail and instead permits any method of service allowed under Rule 4 of the Arkansas Rules of Civil Procedure.

This amendment aims to provide greater flexibility for landowners in notifying renters about the termination of oral leases, ensuring that they can use various methods of communication to deliver their notice by the deadline of June 30. The bill reflects a modernization of the process, making it easier for both parties involved in the lease agreement.
