The proposed bill would amend current statutes related to the Motorcycle Safety Fund and motorcycle registration requirements. Specifically, it would allow the Director of the Governor's Office of Highway Safety to allocate up to seventy-five percent of the Motorcycle Safety Fund for voluntary motorcycle education, awareness, and training programs, while also permitting up to twenty-five percent for scholarships aimed at individuals from rural or low-income areas to enhance access to motorcycle training programs. This change is intended to improve motorcycle safety and education.

Additionally, the bill would establish a new requirement for motorcycle registration, stipulating that the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) may only issue or renew a motorcycle registration if at least one of the registered owners possesses a Class M driver license. However, it would also allow ADOT to issue a thirty-day temporary registration for individuals who provide valid proof of enrollment in an approved motorcycle training program. These updates aim to enhance safety standards for motorcycle operation in Arizona.
