Bill Summary

An Act amending sections 28-2351 and 28-2403, Arizona Revised Statutes; amending title 28, chapter 7, article 12, Arizona Revised Statutes, by adding section 28-2470.27; amending sections 28-6501, 28-6991 and 28-6993, Arizona Revised Statutes; relating to special plates.

AI Summary

This bill creates a new type of special license plate for sororities and fraternities in Arizona. Specifically, if an eligible organization pays $32,000 to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) by December 31, 2025, the department will issue special sorority and fraternity license plates. These plates can be customized for different organizations, subject to ADOT approval, and can potentially be combined with personalized plate options. The bill establishes a new "sorority and fraternity special plate fund" where $17 of the $25 special plate fee will be deposited annually. The fund will be administered by the director and will allocate money to an entity founded in 2018 that meets specific mission criteria, such as fostering cooperative actions among members, promoting the well-being of affiliate organizations, and educating citizens about government and community issues. The bill also makes several technical amendments to existing statutes to accommodate these new special plates, including updating references in various sections of Arizona's vehicle registration laws. The goal appears to be creating a new revenue stream for sorority and fraternity advocacy while providing a specialized license plate option for members of these organizations.
