Bill > HB2367

This bill amends Arizona law regarding the taxation of certain vehicles, specifically focusing on neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs). The key change is that NEVs, which are defined as vehicles meeting specific federal safety standards (49 Code of Federal Regulations section 571.500) and are designed for operation at speeds of twenty miles per hour or less, will now be excluded from the special classification of motor vehicles powered by alternative fuel that are subject to a specific vehicle license tax (VLT). Previously, the law included neighborhood electric shuttles in this classification, but this bill clarifies that NEVs meeting these particular standards, along with golf carts, are not considered part of this alternative fuel vehicle tax category. This means NEVs will likely be subject to different registration and taxation rules, potentially aligning them with other types of low-speed vehicles rather than the alternative fuel vehicle classification.
