The proposed bill would amend current statutes regarding vehicle titles by allowing the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) to issue a vehicle certificate of title pending registration for vehicles purchased out of state under specific conditions. These conditions include situations where the vehicle was sold to a resident of Arizona by an out-of-state dealer or when a lien or encumbrance is filed on the vehicle by an out-of-state dealer or finance company. This addition aims to streamline the process for residents acquiring vehicles from outside the state.

Additionally, the bill mandates that if a vehicle certificate of title is issued under these new provisions, the resident must complete the registration of the vehicle as outlined in the existing statutes. This update does not alter any other current laws but introduces new requirements and clarifications to facilitate the registration process for out-of-state vehicle purchases.
