HB2866 proposes an amendment to the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically section 28-2003, which relates to vehicle registration. The bill introduces a new annual registration fee of $135 for motor vehicles that are fueled exclusively by alternative fuel and are incapable of operating on any other type of fuel. This fee is in addition to the existing fees for vehicle registration. The bill also includes a Proposition 108 clause, which requires that the act becomes effective only with the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the members of each house of the legislature and is effective immediately upon the governor's signature or, in the case of a veto, an affirmative vote of at least three-fourths of the members of each house.

The bill makes several technical and conforming changes to the existing law, such as updating the fee amounts to be consistent in their presentation (e.g., changing "four dollars" to "$4"). It also specifies that the new $135 fee for alternative fuel vehicles is an annual charge. The bill does not alter the existing registration fees for other types of vehicles, which remain at $8 for motor vehicles (except motorcycles, which are $9) and other specified amounts for different categories of vehicles and permits.
