Bill Summary
AN ACT Amending title 28, Chapter 14, article 2, Arizona Revised Statutes, by adding section 28-5233; relating to commercial motor vehicles.
AI Summary
This bill, concerning commercial motor vehicles in Arizona, adds a new section to state law requiring that any person operating a commercial motor vehicle within the state must be able to provide proof of lawful presence in the United States, as defined by acceptable documents listed in another section of law. Law enforcement officers are authorized to request this proof of lawful presence, and it specifically states that a commercial driver's license issued by another state or a foreign jurisdiction is not sufficient on its own to satisfy this requirement. If a person operating a commercial motor vehicle cannot provide this evidence of lawful presence, the vehicle and its cargo will be impounded by law enforcement until all related charges and impoundment fees are settled, with the responsibility for these fees falling on the vehicle's owner.
