This bill proposes several updates to current statutes regarding the registration and licensing of roadable aircraft in Arizona. Specifically, it introduces new definitions, such as "roadable aircraft" and "N-number license marking," and establishes requirements for the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) to combine vehicle and aircraft registration processes. The bill mandates that roadable aircraft must maintain both aircraft and vehicle registrations, with specific conditions under which vehicle registration may be canceled. Additionally, it requires ADOT to issue motorcycle-sized license plates for roadable aircraft and clarifies that a class M driver license is not necessary for operating these vehicles.

The bill also amends existing definitions and provisions related to vehicle registration, including the addition of roadable aircraft to the list of vehicles for which a class D driver license is valid. It sets the renewal date for registrations to align with the staggered schedule for aircraft and specifies that the act will take effect on January 1, 2027. Overall, these changes aim to streamline the registration process for roadable aircraft while ensuring compliance with federal safety standards.
