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 historic electric vehicle special plates if a person pays a fee of $32,000 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 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 historic electric vehicle special plate fund, which will receive special plate administration fees and donations. The fund will be managed by the director, who will allocate funds to a qualified entity focused on promoting electric transportation and showcasing historic electric vehicles. The bill also specifies that a portion of the fees collected will be used for administrative costs, while the remaining funds will be continuously appropriated for the intended purposes.
