This bill proposes several updates to the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding special license plates. It introduces a new section, 28-2470.40, which will allow for the issuance of blood and biologics 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 existing statutes by replacing references to the previous range of special plate sections (28-2404 to 28-2470.39) with the new section (28-2470.40) in multiple locations throughout the statutes.

Furthermore, the bill establishes a blood and biologics special plate fund, detailing the allocation of fees and donations collected from these special plates. It specifies that $8 of the $25 fee for original and renewal special plates will be an administration fee, while $17 will be an annual donation. The fund will be administered by the director, who will allocate funds to a qualified entity for charitable purposes related to blood and biologics. The bill also outlines the investment of fund monies by the state treasurer and ensures that the first $32,000 collected will reimburse the initial payer.
