The proposed bill seeks to amend section 28-5805 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically updating the definitions related to "motor vehicle" and "alternative fuel." Under the new language, the definition of "motor vehicle" will now explicitly include "a neighborhood electric shuttle," while also clarifying that it does not include neighborhood electric vehicles that meet certain federal safety standards. Additionally, the bill removes the previous stipulation regarding the requirement for a vehicle identification number for vehicles designed to operate at speeds of twenty miles per hour or less.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new definition for "alternative fuel" and retains the existing definition of "motor vehicle" with the necessary modifications. The changes aim to modernize the legal framework surrounding neighborhood electric vehicles and shuttles, ensuring that they are appropriately categorized within Arizona's transportation statutes.
