tax prohibition; vehicle mileage; monitoring
This proposed constitutional amendment (HCR 2035) would ban Arizona state and local governments from imposing taxes or fees based on how many miles a person drives a vehicle, or from monitoring or limiting vehicle mileage without the driver's voluntary consent. It specifically prohibits taxes, fees, or monitoring related to vehicle miles traveled (VMT) for personal vehicles, with an exception for interstate commercial vehicle fuel tax agreements. The amendment must be approved by Arizona voters in the next general election to take effect. If passed, it would directly affect all Arizona residents and local governments by preventing mileage-based taxation or tracking systems.

MINOR
The House Engrossed Version added a new exemption for motor vehicles owned and operated by specific entities listed in subsection a, and corrected a typo in subsection b. It also changed the capitalization of certain terms for emphasis. These changes clarify which vehicles are exempt from the new restrictions and improve the text's readability.
Scope change
The bill's scope was expanded to include an additional exemption for motor vehicles owned and operated by entities listed in subsection a, which were not previously exempt.
SCOPE
Added an exemption for motor vehicles owned and operated by entities listed in subsection a of the section, meaning these vehicles are not subject to the tax or monitoring restrictions.
TECHNICAL
Corrected a typo in subsection b where 'folfollowing' was changed to 'following'.
Changed certain terms to all capital letters (REQUIRES, REGISTRATION, OPERATE) for emphasis, which does not alter the legal meaning but highlights key requirements.
