HB 1367 Arkansas House · 2025 Regular Session

TO AMEND THE ARKANSAS TITLE INSURANCE ACT; AND TO REGULATE ACCESS TO PUBLIC RECORDS BY A TITLE AGENT AND A TITLE COMPANY.

HB 1367 amends Arkansas' Title Insurance Act to establish new rules for how title agents and title companies access public property records. It directly affects title insurance professionals in Arkansas who routinely review county land records for property transactions. The bill creates standardized procedures requiring title companies to follow specific, documented processes when requesting public records from county offices. This replaces inconsistent past practices with clear, regulated access methods to improve record-keeping accuracy. The law, now effective as Act 346, aims to streamline property record handling without changing title insurance requirements.
