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 adaptive sports and recreation special plates, contingent upon a $32,000 payment to the department by December 31, 2026. The design of these plates will be determined by the payer, subject to department approval. Additionally, the bill modifies the existing statutes by replacing references to the previous range of sections (28-2404 to 28-2470.39) with the new section (28-2470.40) in multiple places throughout the text.

Furthermore, the bill establishes an adaptive sports and recreation special plate fund, detailing how fees and donations will be allocated. It specifies that $8 of the $25 fee for special plates will be an administration fee, while $17 will be a donation. The fund will be managed by the director, who will allocate resources to a qualified entity that provides adaptive equipment for water sports and promotes wellness for individuals with disabilities. The bill also includes provisions for the investment of fund monies and outlines the criteria for the entity receiving the funds.
