The proposed bill would amend current statutes regarding off-highway vehicle (OHV) registration in Arizona. It would allow for a 30-day temporary general use registration to be issued to nonresidents who own an OHV titled in another state, expanding the eligibility for temporary registrations. The bill also clarifies that a registering officer may issue more than one temporary registration within a twelve-month period for nonresidents, which is a change from the current law that limits it to one registration. Additionally, the definition of an OHV would be updated to specify criteria such as width, weight, and safety features.

Furthermore, the bill extends the Arizona OHV Study Committee for an additional two years, with a new expiration date of June 1, 2027, and makes technical and conforming changes to the existing statutes. The current maximum unladen weight for an OHV would be reinstated to 2,500 pounds, down from 3,500 pounds. The bill also includes a retroactive provision that applies the changes from May 31, 2025, ensuring that the new regulations are effective from that date.
