This bill proposes updates to the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding special license plates by amending several sections and adding new provisions. Specifically, it introduces a new section, 28-2470.27, which allows for the issuance of sorority and fraternity special plates, contingent upon an entity paying $32,000 to the department by December 31, 2025. The design of these plates will be unique and subject to department approval. Additionally, the bill establishes a sorority and fraternity special plate fund, which will receive donations and fees associated with these plates, and outlines the allocation of funds to support organizations founded in 2018 that promote cooperative actions and community education.

The bill also modifies existing language by deleting references to the previous upper limit of special plate sections (28-2470.26) and replacing it with the new section (28-2470.27). It clarifies the distribution of fees collected for special plates, specifying that $8 will be an administration fee and $17 will be a donation. Furthermore, it mandates that all special plate administration fees be deposited into the state highway fund, while donations will go to the newly established sorority and fraternity special plate fund. Overall, these changes aim to enhance the variety of special plates available and ensure proper funding and administration of the associated programs.
