This bill proposes several updates to the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding special license plates. It introduces a new section, 28-2470.27, which allows for the issuance of education fundraising special plates if a person pays a $32,000 implementation fee by December 31, 2025. The design of these plates will be determined by the payer, subject to department approval. Additionally, the bill modifies the existing statutes to clarify the allocation of fees associated with special plates, specifying that $8 of the $25 fee is for administration and $17 is an annual donation.

Furthermore, the bill establishes the education fundraising special plate fund, which will be administered by the director and will reimburse the initial $32,000 fee. It mandates that the fund's resources be allocated to a qualified entity focused on community fundraising for a unified school district, ensuring that the funds are used to promote equitable access to educational opportunities. The bill also includes provisions for the investment of fund monies and defines "unified school district" in accordance with existing law. Overall, the bill aims to enhance funding for educational initiatives through the introduction of specialized license plates.
