This bill proposes several updates to the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding special license plates. It introduces a new section, 28-2470.27, which will allow for the issuance of Hopi Tribe special plates, contingent upon a payment of $32,000 to the department by December 31, 2025. The design of these plates will be created by the payer and must receive approval from the department. Additionally, the bill specifies that the fees associated with these special plates will include an $8 administration fee and a $17 annual donation, with the latter being directed to the Hopi tribal Department of Public Safety for road maintenance and traffic control devices on the Hopi reservation.

The bill also makes various deletions of outdated references to sections 28-2470.26 and updates the language to ensure that all special plates, including the new Hopi Tribe plates, will maintain a design similar to regular license plates as determined by the department. Furthermore, it clarifies the allocation of special plate administration fees and donations, ensuring that they are deposited into the state highway fund and used for specific purposes related to the Hopi Tribe's infrastructure needs.
