SB1180 is a bill that establishes registration and licensing requirements for roadable aircraft in Arizona. The bill amends existing statutes to include roadable aircraft, which are defined as aircraft that can operate like a vehicle on roads and are manufactured to meet federal safety standards for motorcycles. The bill requires the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) to combine the registration process for motor vehicles with that for aircraft and to record the N-number license marking assigned by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Additionally, the bill sets the renewal date for both registrations to the annual renewal date for aircraft and mandates that ADOT issue a motorcycle-sized license plate for roadable aircraft.

The bill also includes several renumbering changes to existing definitions in the statutes to accommodate the new definitions related to roadable aircraft. It specifies that a roadable aircraft must maintain both aircraft and vehicle registrations unless it is subject to an annual license tax, in which case the vehicle registration is canceled. The bill is set to become effective on December 31, 2024.
