Bill summary
What changes
The bill amends A.R.S. § 28-1464 to increase penalties for lending a vehicle to an individual with restricted driving privileges (IID requirements). It adds a class 6 felony for lenders if the driver is involved in a crash causing serious injury or death.
Who is affected
Restricted drivers subject to IID requirements and individuals who lend their motor vehicles to others.
Requirements and enforcement
Lenders must verify the driving status of the person to whom they lend a vehicle; drivers must notify owners of their IID requirements.
Costs and funding
Not stated, though potential costs include legal fees and incarceration for those convicted under the new felony provision.
When it takes effect
Effective upon enactment (June 22, 2026).
Potential benefits
Enhanced road safety and deterrent against enabling impaired or restricted drivers.
Risks and tradeoffs
Criminalization of vehicle lending and the potential for felony charges arising from third-party accidents.
What is still unknown
The degree to which law enforcement will prioritize the prosecution of lenders versus the drivers themselves.
