If this bill were to become law, it would amend current statutes by adding new requirements for vehicles classified as authorized emergency vehicles operated as police vehicles in a patrol capacity. Specifically, the bill would mandate that these vehicles undergo an annual inspection and stipulate that they must either have a manufacture date of ten years or less from the inspection date or an odometer reading of 115,000 miles or less.

The bill introduces new language to title 28, chapter 3, article 17 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically by adding section 28-986, which outlines these inspection requirements. The current law remains unchanged, but the new provisions would establish clear criteria for the operational status of police vehicles, enhancing safety and reliability in law enforcement operations.
