Analysis

Senate Bill 437 mops up two places in Arkansas’ Notary statutes. The first is to remove an effective date set by Act No. 2274 of 2005 (Senate Bill 337) that is no longer relevant. The other is to true up several provisions in the statutes that refer to legal residents of adjoining states who operate businesses in Arkansas. Such individuals qualify for an Arkansas Notary commission.
