This bill proposes significant updates to the Arizona Revised Statutes related to the Department of Transportation. It introduces new definitions, such as "blood transport vehicle" for nonprofit blood banks and "application" for the information submission process. The bill also repeals section 28-2410 and modifies definitions for "public transportation vehicle" and "driver license" to streamline language. Additionally, it adjusts penalties for high occupancy vehicle lane violations, reducing the civil penalty from $200 to $100, with a specified allocation of funds to the state general fund. Further changes include extending the license update period from twelve years to sixteen years and removing the vision test report requirement. The bill mandates evidence-based psychotherapy for treatment programs for suspended or revoked licenses and replaces ignition interlock devices with monthly screenings for certain individuals. It also shifts the notification process for junk vehicle dispositions from newspaper publication to online postings and updates motor vehicle fuel tax rates. New provisions establish classifications for primitive roads, including liability limitations and signage requirements, and the bill includes a provision for the recall of honorary consular official special plates, replacing them with standard license plates.
