This bill proposes updates to the Arizona Revised Statutes concerning special license plates by amending several sections and adding new provisions. Specifically, it introduces section 28-2470.27, which allows for the issuance of Hopi Tribe special plates if a payment of $32,000 is made to the department by December 31, 2025. The design of these plates will be created by the payer and must receive departmental approval. Additionally, the bill clarifies the fee structure for special plates, specifying that of the $25 fee, $8 is for administration and $17 is a donation.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that all special plate administration fees be deposited into the state highway fund, while donations will be directed to the Hopi tribal Department of Public Safety and Emergency Services for road maintenance and traffic control devices on the Hopi reservation. The bill also updates references to the sections of the statutes that pertain to special plates, replacing the old section references (up to 28-2470.26) with the new section (28-2470.27) throughout the relevant statutes.
