HB 2941: motorcycles; reckless driving

HB 2941 amends Arizona law to classify operating a motorcycle in violation of specific traffic rules (sections 28-903 B/C) as reckless driving.

HB 2257: HOV lane; blood transport vehicles

HB 2257 adds blood transport vehicles to the list of priority vehicles allowed in Arizona's high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes when the lanes are degraded. Specifically, it defines "blood transport vehicles" as nonprofit-owned or operated vehicles transporting blood between collection points, hospitals, or storage centers, and requires them to display a removable decal. This exception allows these vehicles to use HOV lanes even when carrying only one occupant (the driver), provided they display the required decal. The bill does not change the standard HOV lane requirements but creates a specific, limited exception for blood transport. This directly affects nonprofit blood banks, hospitals, and blood storage centers that transport blood products.

HB 2200 appropriates $36 million from Arizona's state general fund for the town of Chino Valley to develop a design concept report for widening State Route 89 between Road 5 North and Road 3 North.

SB 1332: light rail expansion; participation; prohibition

SB 1332 prohibits Arizona from providing state funding or financial support for new light rail construction projects. It requires the state transportation department to conduct a feasibility study by December 2027, comparing light rail costs, environmental impact, ridership, and maintenance against alternatives like autonomous vehicles and bus systems in Maricopa County. The study must be submitted to state leaders and Phoenix officials, with findings informing future state involvement decisions. The bill expires on June 30, 2028, making it a temporary measure to evaluate transit options before potential future funding.

SB 1008 establishes speed limits for bicycles and electric mobility devices (like e-bikes and e-scooters) on Arizona's bicycle and multiuse paths, requiring a maximum of 15 mph when the path is clear and 5 mph when passing others, with local authorities allowed to set lower limits.
