A YES vote means:

The Arizona Constitution would prohibit the state and local governments from taxing or charging fees based on miles driven, and from monitoring or limiting miles driven without the driver’s consent.

A NO vote means:

The current constitutional language on taxation stays as it is.

What it would change

  • Who is affected: drivers, the state, and counties, cities, and towns.
  • Exceptions: interstate agreements for commercial vehicles’ fuel taxes or registration fees, and vehicles owned and operated by government.
  • Fiscal impact: No official fiscal impact statement is published in the Publicity Pamphlet for this legislative referral.

Official arguments, summarized

Short neutral summaries of the arguments printed in the official voters’ pamphlet. The committees that wrote them are responsible for their content. Read the full text at the link below.

Argument for

Supporters say charging drivers by the mile would require tracking where and how far people drive, would cost rural residents, commuters, and tradespeople the most, and could raise prices on goods moved by truck; they say a constitutional ban keeps the decision with voters.

Argument against

Opponents say fuel-tax revenue is not keeping up with road and bridge needs, especially as electric and more fuel-efficient vehicles pay less gas tax, and that a permanent ban removes one funding option, including pilot studies, before it can be evaluated.
