This bill proposes to amend Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 16-112.01, which mandates that the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) must simultaneously transmit voter registration information to both the Secretary of State (SOS) and the appropriate county recorder upon receipt of such information. This change is intended to ensure compliance with the National Voter Registration Act of 1993. Additionally, the bill specifies that ADOT is prohibited from transmitting this information through the SOS and must ensure that all collected voter registration data is sent to the county recorder within five business days.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that while ADOT can provide voter registration information to the SOS for purposes other than those related to voter registration, it does not diminish the SOS's existing duties under state or federal law regarding voter registration and election administration. The new provisions will take effect on January 1, 2026, and include a severability clause to maintain the validity of the remaining provisions if any part of the act is found invalid.
