SB1024

THE CONTEXT: Statute outlines application requirements for registering a motor vehicle, trailer or semitrailer on forms authorized by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) ( A. R.

WHAT THE BILL DID: The final vetoed version would tasks ADOT, when registering a roadable aircraft, with recording the n-number license marking of the aircraft and, as best as practicable, combining the title and registration processes for vehicles with the registration requirements for aircraft as prescribed, stipulate that the renewal date for both registrations is the renewal date prescribed for aircraft registrations, and mandate that a roadable aircraft must maintain both aircraft registration and vehicle registration, unless the roadable aircraft is subject to an annual stored or repaired aircraft license tax, then the vehicle registration for the roadable aircraft is cancelled.

WHY IT MATTERED: The practical reason for this bill was to make the licensing pathway more workable while retaining a defined state standard. It would tasks ADOT, when registering a roadable aircraft, with recording the n-number license marking of the aircraft and, as best as practicable, combining the title and registration processes for vehicles with the registration requirements for aircraft as prescribed, and would also stipulate that the renewal date for both registrations is the renewal date prescribed for aircraft registrations, rather than leave the current rule unchanged.
