The proposed bill would significantly update current statutes regarding special license plates in Arizona by introducing a variety of new special plates, including those for 988 suicide awareness, America250, and the Hopi Tribe, among others. Each new plate would require a $32,000 implementation fee, which must be paid before the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) issues the plates. The design and color of these plates would need ADOT's approval, and the bill allows for combined requests for special and personalized plates. Additionally, it establishes dedicated funds for each special plate, detailing how these funds will be administered and allocated, including provisions for reimbursement of the implementation fee and caps on administrative costs.

Moreover, the bill specifies the allocation of fees associated with these special plates, designating $8 as an administration fee and $17 as an annual donation to the respective special plate fund. It ensures that the funds are continuously appropriated for their intended purposes without requiring further legislative approval. The bill also includes technical and conforming changes to existing statutes, clarifying the allocation of funds to specific organizations and projects, and updating penalties related to alternative fuel vehicle stickers. Overall, the proposed changes aim to enhance community support and awareness through a broader range of specialized license plates while establishing clear financial and administrative guidelines.
