This bill proposes several updates to the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding special license plates. It introduces a new section, 28-2470.27, which allows for the issuance of "made in Arizona" special plates, contingent upon a payment of $32,000 to the department for implementation. The design and color of these plates will be subject to the department's approval. Additionally, the bill allows for the combination of requests for these special plates with personalized plates or low emission and energy-efficient vehicle plates, each subject to their respective fees.

Furthermore, the bill establishes a "made in Arizona special plate fund" to manage the fees and donations collected from these plates. It specifies that $8 of the $25 fee for original and renewal special plates will be allocated as an administration fee, while $17 will be designated as an annual donation. The fund will be used to reimburse the initial implementation fee and support workforce development in the advanced manufacturing industry, in collaboration with community colleges in Arizona. The bill also updates various references in existing statutes to reflect the new section and ensures that the funds are continuously appropriated for their intended purposes.
