The proposed bill amends the law regarding self-service storage facilities in Arkansas by introducing a requirement for operators to notify occupants when their leased space is compromised. A new section, 18-16-416, defines "compromised" as situations where an unauthorized individual has forcibly accessed the space, taken property, or damaged the space to the extent that it is accessible to others. The bill mandates that operators must contact the affected occupant via telephone, email, or regular mail within five business days of becoming aware of the compromise.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that operators are not responsible for the care, custody, or control of the occupant's personal property and do not have an obligation to determine whether a leased space has been compromised. This legislation aims to enhance the security and communication standards within self-service storage facilities, ensuring that occupants are promptly informed of any potential threats to their belongings.
