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 a donation. It also establishes the education fundraising special plate fund, which will be administered by the director and used to support fundraising efforts for a unified school district.

The bill further outlines the criteria for entities eligible to receive funds from the education fundraising special plate fund, emphasizing their mission to promote equitable access to educational opportunities within a unified school district. It also mandates that the state treasurer manage the fund's investments and specifies that the term "unified school district" aligns with the definition in Section 15-901. Overall, the bill aims to enhance funding for educational initiatives through the introduction of specialized license plates while updating existing statutes to reflect these changes.
