This bill proposes to establish the Conservative Grassroots Network Special Plate and Fund, which would be created if a person pays $32,000 to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) by December 31, 2026. The individual who pays this fee would also be responsible for designing the special plate, subject to ADOT's approval. The bill outlines that the $25 fee for the special plate would include an $8 administrative fee and a $17 annual donation, with all fees deposited into the State Highway Fund and donations directed to the newly established Conservative Grassroots Network Special Plate Fund.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the Director of ADOT administer the fund, which would reimburse the initial $32,000 to the payer and stipulates that no more than 10% of the fund's annual revenue can be used for administrative costs. The Director is also tasked with allocating funds to a qualified entity that promotes traditional values and engages in grassroots activism, particularly among high school and college students. The bill makes conforming changes to existing statutes, including updating section references to accommodate the new provisions.
