The proposed bill would amend current statutes to establish a new "west valley charity special plate" and create the associated "West Valley Charity Special Plate Fund." Under the new provisions, if a person pays a $32,000 implementation fee by December 31, 2025, the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) is required to issue these special plates, with the design subject to ADOT's approval. The bill also allows for the combination of requests for these plates with personalized special plates, and specifies that the fees collected will include an $8 administration fee and a $17 annual donation, which will be allocated to the newly established fund.

Additionally, the bill outlines the administration of the fund, requiring the first $32,000 collected to be reimbursed to the entity that paid the implementation fee. It mandates that the fund's director allocate annual funds to a qualified 501(c)(3) organization that meets specific criteria, including being in existence since 2013 and having a mission focused on assisting children, families, and veterans in the Phoenix west valley. The bill also caps the administrative costs of the fund at 10% of the total annual funds and ensures that the fund's monies are continuously appropriated.
