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 by a designated individual or organization, and the design would need approval from the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). The bill establishes dedicated funds for each special plate, which will be administered by relevant authorities, such as the Department of Health Services for the 988 Suicide Prevention Special Plate Fund. Additionally, it specifies the allocation of fees, with $8 designated as an administration fee and $17 as an annual donation to the respective special plate fund, while capping administrative costs at 10%.

Moreover, the bill modifies existing language in current statutes, updating the special plate administration fee to "$8" and specifying the civil penalty for driving in a high occupancy vehicle lane without the appropriate sticker as "$350." It also removes outdated references to previous sections related to special plates and introduces new provisions for the reimbursement of implementation fees. The funds generated from these special plates are continuously appropriated for their designated purposes, ensuring ongoing support for various initiatives, including community education and mental health services for public safety personnel. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the variety of special plates available while ensuring proper funding and administration for associated charitable causes.
