The proposed bill would amend existing statutes to establish a new police foundation special plate and create the Police Foundation Special Plate Fund. Under the new provisions, if a person pays a $32,000 implementation fee by December 31, 2026, the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) is required to issue the special plates, which the payer will also design, subject to ADOT's approval. The bill specifies that the $25 fee for these plates includes an $8 administrative fee and a $17 annual donation, with the latter being directed to the newly established fund.

Additionally, the bill outlines the administration of the Police Foundation Special Plate Fund, which will be managed by the Director of ADOT. The first $32,000 collected in the fund will be reimbursed to the individual who paid the implementation fee. The fund will also allocate annual resources to a qualified 501(c)(3) organization that supports police departments in cities with populations over one million, focusing on unmet capital needs and community engagement programs. The bill includes technical changes to existing statutes, ensuring that the new provisions are integrated seamlessly into the current legal framework.
