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 clarifies the liability of dog owners for damages caused to domesticated animals and establishes the right of action for individuals who sustain losses due to their animals being harmed by dogs.

Additionally, the bill modifies the process for filing a complaint regarding these damages. It allows individuals to file a complaint in the appropriate circuit or district court, detailing the loss or damage, 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, enhancing the legal recourse available to those affected by such incidents.
