The proposed bill would amend current statutes to establish a new golf tournament charity special plate and create the Golf Tournament Charity 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 must design, subject to ADOT's approval. The bill also allows for the combination of requests for this special plate with personalized plates, and specifies that the fee structure includes an $8 administration fee and a $17 annual donation.

Additionally, the bill establishes the Golf Tournament Charity Special Plate Fund, which will be administered by the Director of ADOT. The first $32,000 collected in the fund will be reimbursed to the person who paid the implementation fee. The fund will allocate annual grants to a qualified 501(c)(3) organization that meets specific criteria, including promoting local youth athletic programs in the Tucson area. The bill caps administrative costs at 10% of the fund's total and ensures that the fund's monies are continuously appropriated.
