Bill > SB1603

This bill establishes a new America250 specialty license plate program in Arizona, allowing individuals to obtain special commemorative license plates by paying a $32,000 implementation fee to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). The plate design will be subject to department approval, and interested parties can potentially combine this request with personalized plate options. For each set of America250 plates, $25 will be collected: $8 for special plate administration fees (deposited in the state highway fund) and $17 as an annual donation. These donations will be deposited into a new America250 special plate fund. From the fund's inception through December 31, 2026, monthly allocations will go to the Arizona America250 Commission to support projects and events related to the 250th anniversary of the United States. After that date, annual allocations will be directed to the state library fund. The bill also makes several technical amendments to existing statutes to reference the new America250 special plates and ensure proper administrative and financial handling. The legislation aims to create a commemorative license plate that both celebrates the nation's 250th anniversary and generates funding for related cultural and educational initiatives.
