SB 1517 Arizona Senate · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

off-highway vehicles; weight

SB 1517 amends Arizona's temporary registration rules for off-highway vehicles (OHVs) and establishes a study committee to examine OHV-related issues. The bill clarifies the definition of an OHV to include specific requirements (e.g., max 2,500-pound empty weight, 80-inch width) and limits temporary registrations to 30 days per vehicle annually. It also creates a 13-member committee - including agency directors, industry representatives, and public members - to study OHV management and submit annual reports to the governor and legislature, with the committee dissolving after May 31, 2027. The bill, signed into law in June 2025, applies retroactively to May 2025 and directly affects OHV owners, rental companies, and agencies managing trails and recreation.
