If enacted, this bill would amend current statutes by adding a new section to Title 28, Chapter 3, Article 17 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically addressing the inspection requirements for police vehicles operated as authorized emergency vehicles. The bill stipulates that such vehicles must undergo an annual inspection and meet specific criteria regarding their age and mileage.

The new requirements state that to qualify as an authorized emergency vehicle in a patrol capacity, a police vehicle must either have a manufacture date of ten years or less from the inspection date or have an odometer reading of 115,000 miles or less. This update aims to ensure that police vehicles are maintained to a standard that supports their operational effectiveness and safety.
