If this bill were to become law, it would update current statutes by adding a new definition for "ultralight vehicle" and modifying the existing definition of "advanced air mobility." Specifically, the bill would insert language defining "ultralight vehicle" as a vehicle intended for manned operation by a single occupant, without a U.S. or foreign airworthiness certificate, and meeting specific weight, fuel capacity, airspeed, and stall speed criteria. This new definition would be included in the Arizona Revised Statutes under section 28-8601.

Additionally, the bill would amend the definition of "advanced air mobility" to explicitly include ultralight vehicles alongside electric aircraft and powered lift aircraft. The current language regarding advanced air mobility would remain largely unchanged, except for the insertion of the term "ultralight vehicle." The bill would also make conforming changes to ensure consistency within the statutes, while deleting the previous numbering of the definitions to accommodate the new insertion.
