The bill proposes the repeal of Arkansas Code 18-60-510, which pertains to the setting aside of a decree to quiet title to land. This change aims to enhance the finality of quiet title actions, thereby preventing individuals from contesting such decrees after a specified period. The current law allows any person to set aside a decree within three years if they can present a meritorious defense, and it also provides provisions for individuals with disabilities to do so within three years after their disability is removed.
By eliminating this section of the law, the bill seeks to streamline the process of quiet title actions, ensuring that once a decree is issued, it remains final and binding, thereby reducing potential disputes and legal challenges related to land ownership.
