This bill proposes several updates to the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding special license plates. It introduces a new section, 28-2470.40, which allows for the issuance of "recycling refurbished electronics" special plates, contingent upon a $32,000 payment to the department by a designated individual. The design and color of these plates will be subject to department approval, and the bill outlines the process for combining requests for these plates with personalized special plates. Additionally, it establishes a special plate administration fee and an annual donation component, specifying how these funds will be allocated and managed.

The bill also creates the "recycling refurbished electronics special plate fund," which will be administered by the director and will reimburse the initial $32,000 payment. It mandates that a portion of the fund be used for administrative costs and outlines the criteria for allocating funds to qualified entities that collect electronic waste, refurbish devices, and provide education and workforce development. The bill further updates existing statutes by replacing references to the previous range of special plate sections with the new section 28-2470.40, ensuring that the new provisions are integrated into the current legal framework.
