The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes by adding a new section (16-112.01) to the Arizona Revised Statutes, which outlines the responsibilities of the Department of Transportation (ADOT) regarding voter registration information. Specifically, it mandates that ADOT must directly transmit voter registration information to both the Secretary of State and the appropriate County Recorder within five business days of receiving a completed application, renewal, or revision. This process must occur without routing the information through the Secretary of State, ensuring a more direct and timely transfer of voter registration data.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that while ADOT is required to send voter registration information for the purposes outlined, it is not restricted from providing such information to the Secretary of State for other purposes. The bill also emphasizes that it does not alter the existing duties of the Secretary of State concerning voter registration and election administration. Furthermore, it includes a severability clause to maintain the validity of the remaining provisions if any part of the act is deemed invalid, and it establishes an effective date of January 1, 2026.
