The bill amends Arkansas law regarding injuries to domesticated animals caused by dogs, specifically authorizing treble damages for such incidents. It expands the definition of "domesticated animals" to include a broader range of livestock, including sheep, goats, cattle, swine, poultry, and other livestock. The bill establishes that dog owners are liable for the full value of any domesticated animal killed or injured by their dog and allows individuals engaged in raising or owning domesticated animals to take legal action against the dog owner for damages.

Additionally, the bill modifies the process for seeking remuneration for damages. It allows individuals to file a complaint in the appropriate circuit or district court, detailing the loss or damage sustained, its value, and the identity of the dog and its owner. The courts are empowered to issue a summons to the defendant and award the plaintiff treble damages for their losses. This legislative change aims to strengthen protections for livestock owners and provide a more robust legal framework for addressing damages caused by dogs.
