The proposed bill, SB1010, seeks to establish prohibitions against the tracking and taxation of vehicle miles traveled by individuals in Arizona. Specifically, it prohibits state and local governments from considering or establishing vehicle miles of travel reduction goals in transportation planning, as well as from tracking individuals' vehicle miles through methods such as odometer readings captured by cameras or third-party data. Additionally, the bill forbids the imposition or collection of any fees or taxes based on the number of miles traveled by a vehicle.

In contrast to current law, which does not explicitly address these prohibitions, SB1010 introduces clear restrictions on how vehicle mileage can be monitored and taxed. The bill aims to protect individuals from potential government surveillance and financial burdens related to their vehicle usage, thereby reinforcing personal privacy and limiting governmental authority in transportation-related matters.
