If enacted, this bill would amend current statutes regarding off-highway vehicles (OHVs) in Arizona by allowing for a 30-day temporary general use registration for nonresidents who own OHVs titled in other states. The bill increases the maximum unladen weight for OHVs from 2,500 pounds to 3,500 pounds, thereby expanding the types of vehicles that can be registered under the OHV user indicia. Additionally, it allows registering officers to issue multiple temporary registrations within a 12-month period for nonresidents, which is a change from the current limitation of one temporary registration.

The bill also modifies the definition of an OHV to include specific criteria such as being designed for recreational nonhighway travel, having a maximum width of 80 inches, and requiring features like a steering wheel, rollover protective structure, and occupant retention system. The language of the bill includes technical and conforming changes to ensure clarity and consistency with the new provisions. Overall, these updates aim to facilitate the registration process for nonresidents and accommodate a broader range of vehicles under Arizona's OHV regulations.
