If enacted, this bill would introduce several prohibitions regarding the tracking and taxation of vehicle miles traveled by individuals. Specifically, it would prevent the state, cities, towns, counties, or any political subdivisions from establishing vehicle miles of travel reduction goals or targets in their transportation or land-use planning. Additionally, public entities would be barred from tracking or maintaining records of an individual's vehicle miles through methods such as odometer readings captured by cameras or third-party data.
The bill also prohibits public entities from imposing or collecting any fees or taxes based on vehicle miles traveled. However, it includes exemptions for interstate agreements related to commercial vehicles and for vehicles owned and operated by public entities. These changes would be codified by adding new sections to the Arizona Revised Statutes, thereby updating current statutes to reflect these prohibitions and exemptions.
