ARIZONA STATE SENATE
Fifty-Sixth Legislature, Second Regular Session
technical
correction; traffic violations
(NOW: off-highway vehicle; temporary registration)
Purpose
Allows a 30-day
temporary general use registration to be issued to a nonresident for an
off-highway vehicle (OHV) that is titled in another state.
Background
A temporary general use registration allows a person to
operate a motor vehicle for no more than 30 days in a 12-month period. The
Director of the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) may authorize the
issuance of a temporary general use registration to a person who:
1) does not qualify for a special 90-day nonresident registration or as a
foreign nonresident or nonresident daily commuter, as prescribed; 2) complies
with state requirements for motor vehicle insurance; and 3) displays the
registration so that it is clearly visible from outside the vehicle. An
applicant for a temporary general use registration must submit proper evidence
of ownership or authorized possession of the vehicle and pay the registration
fee of $15 (A.R.S. §§ 28-2003
and 28-2156).
There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the state General Fund associated with this legislation.
Provisions
1. Allows ADOT to authorize the issuance of a temporary general use registration to a nonresident who owns an OHV that is titled in another state and otherwise meets statutory requirements for OHVs.
2. Excludes a temporary general use registration for a nonresident's OHV from the limitation on issuing one 30-day registration in a 12-month period.
3. Defines an OHV as an OHV that:
a) is designed primarily for recreational nonhighway all-terrain travel;
b) has a maximum unladen weight of 2,500 pounds and a maximum width of 80 inches;
c) travels on four or more nonhighway tires; and
d) has a steering wheel for steering control, a rollover protective structure and an occupant retention system.
4. Makes technical and conforming changes.
5. Becomes effective on the general effective date.
