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 "returning warrior special plates" if a person pays $32,000 for implementation 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 deleting references to the previous upper limit of special plate sections (28-2470.39) and replacing it with the new section (28-2470.40).

Furthermore, the bill establishes a returning warrior special plate fund, which will be administered by the director and will receive special plate administration fees and donations. The fund will be used to reimburse the initial payer and support various veteran assistance programs. The bill also specifies that a portion of the fees collected for special plates will be allocated to support organizations that assist veterans in transitioning to civilian life, providing community assistance, and supporting mental health initiatives.
