The proposed bill would amend the definition of "motor vehicle" in Arizona Revised Statutes section 28-5805. Currently, the definition includes vehicles that meet safety standards set by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration but does not specifically mention neighborhood electric shuttles. The bill would insert language to explicitly include neighborhood electric shuttles in the definition of motor vehicles, while also excluding golf carts and neighborhood electric vehicles that are federally qualified as low-speed vehicles from this definition.

Additionally, the bill would make technical changes to the existing language, such as modifying the phrasing around the inclusion of neighborhood electric vehicles and clarifying that these vehicles must meet specific federal standards. The bill aims to streamline the classification of these vehicles for regulatory and taxation purposes, ensuring that neighborhood electric shuttles are recognized as motor vehicles while maintaining exemptions for certain low-speed vehicles.
