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 community well-being special plates if a person pays a $32,000 implementation fee 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 law.

Furthermore, the bill establishes a community well-being special plate fund, which will receive donations and special plate administration fees. It mandates that the director allocate funds to a qualified entity that meets specific criteria, including a mission to strengthen community connections and a long-standing presence in the state. The bill also outlines the management of the fund, including investment provisions and limitations on administrative costs. Overall, these changes aim to enhance the special plate program and support community initiatives through the generated funds.
