The question on the ballot
PROPOSITION 141. PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION BY THE LEGISLATURE RELATING TO TAXATION. OFFICIAL TITLE: AMENDING ARTICLE IX, CONSTITUTION OF ARIZONA, BY ADDING SECTION 26. DESCRIPTIVE TITLE: PROHIBITS TAXES OR FEES BASED ON VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED AND LAWS MONITORING OR LIMITING VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED WITHOUT CONSENT.[2]
Adds Section 26 to Article IX of the Arizona Constitution barring the state and any county, city, town or other political subdivision from (1) imposing a tax or fee based on the miles a person travels in a motor vehicle and (2) enacting a rule or law to monitor or limit miles traveled unless the person voluntarily consents. It does not apply to interstate agreements for commercial vehicles' fuel taxes or registration fees or to vehicles owned and operated by the state or local governments.[1][2]
A YES vote means
A "yes" vote shall have the effect of amending the Arizona Constitution to prohibit: (1) taxes or fees based on motor vehicle miles traveled; and (2) laws or rules that monitor or limit motor vehicle miles traveled without consent. These prohibitions do not apply in certain instances to interstate commercial vehicles or to vehicles owned by the state or local governments.
A NO vote means
A "no" vote shall have the effect of maintaining the current constitutional language related to taxation.
Arguments made for
- AZ Free Enterprise Club (Scot Mussi, President): "Proposition 141, which would amend our Constitution to permanently bar government from tracking, taxing, or limiting the miles you drive."[2]
- Arizona Trucking Association (Tony Bradley, President and CEO): "the Arizona Trucking Association supports the Freedom to Move Act. It protects Arizona taxpayers from a costly and burdensome Vehicle Miles Traveled tax while allowing policymakers to pursue more efficient transportation funding solutions in the future."[2]
Arguments made against
- Southern Arizona Leadership Council (Ted Maxwell, President/CEO): "Rather than allowing policymakers to explore future solutions, Proposition 141 would permanently prohibit consideration of vehicle-miles-traveled (VMT) funding options, even voluntary or pilot programs designed to evaluate whether such approaches could work for Arizona."[2]
- Rural Arizona Action (Tom Prezelski, Senior Political Advisor): "Proposition 141 effectively shuts down a potential solution to the problem."[2]

Research notes & limits
Slate: the Secretary of State's official 2026 General Election Publicity Pamphlet (hosted by the Citizens Clean Elections Commission; azsos.gov itself returned a bot-protection block and was not bypassed) lists exactly eight statewide measures: Propositions 141, 142, 144, 316, 317, 318, 319 and 320. Ballot question, 'yes'/'no' text: copied from the pamphlet's 'Ballot Format' page for this proposition. Arguments: excerpts of arguments published in that pamphlet, attributed to the signer and sponsoring organization it prints; the pamphlet prints many arguments per side (it reproduces spelling and punctuation as submitted), so these are a selection of 2 for and 2 against, not the full set. Legislative vote counts are from the Arizona Legislature's floor-action records. The pamphlet contains no fiscal estimate for this measure. Required vote: a majority of those voting. Supporters and opponents listed are organizations and officials that signed or sponsored arguments printed in the official publicity pamphlet (taken in the pamphlet's print order, counting each organization or official once and skipping arguments signed only by private individuals with no organization or office; capped at the first six per side, the same way on both sides, and a side with fewer than six lists every such organization or official the pamphlet prints); signing or sponsoring an argument is taken as the stance. No committee finance totals were found (seethemoney.az.gov is a script-driven portal and no reputable report of totals was located), and the pamphlet and Legislative Council analysis contain no fiscal estimate or current-law description beyond the yes/no text.
