The bill SB1467 amends existing Arizona law regarding authorized third parties (ATPs) by establishing clearer procedures for revocation of their authorization or certification. Under the new provisions, the Director of the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) is required to revoke an ATP's authorization if it fails to meet the prescribed standards. The ATP will be notified in writing of the revocation and the reasons for it. The ATP has 30 days to either petition for a hearing or seek judicial review of the revocation. If the court rules in favor of the ATP, it may reinstate the authorization and award damages and attorney fees.

Additionally, the bill expands the rights of individuals affected by the denial of an application or revocation of authorization. It allows any person aggrieved by such actions to seek judicial review, bypassing the need for an administrative appeal. The bill also clarifies that if a person does not request a hearing or judicial review within 30 days, the revocation or denial becomes final. Overall, the bill enhances the accountability of ATPs and provides a more accessible legal recourse for those affected by ADOT's decisions.
