AZ HB2183

Transfers regulation of funeral escort vehicles and military escort vehicle drivers from county sheriffs to the state board of funeral directors and embalmers, which will license these vehicles and drivers.

Requires funeral escort and military escort vehicle drivers to be licensed by the state board rather than certified by county sheriffs, with licensing requirements and procedures established by board rule.

Modifies vehicle marking and equipment requirements, allowing nonprofit corporations operating military escort vehicles to use temporary markings and allowing motorcycle drivers to wear reflective vests with lettering instead of permanent vehicle markings.

Authorizes the state board to establish and collect fees for licensing funeral escort vehicles, military escort vehicles, and their drivers in amounts determined by the board.

Requires motor vehicle liability insurance policies for funeral escort businesses and nonprofits providing military processions to list the state board of funeral directors as the certificate holder.
