AI Summary
This bill establishes a new special license plate for a "conservative grassroots network" in Arizona. To get these plates, a person or group must first pay $32,000 to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) by December 31, 2026, to cover implementation costs, and they will be responsible for designing the plates, subject to ADOT approval. A portion of the standard special plate fee will be designated as an "administration fee" for the state highway fund, while the rest will be an annual donation to a newly created "conservative grassroots network special plate fund." This fund will be administered by the ADOT director, with the initial $32,000 paid for implementation being reimbursed first. Annually, up to ten percent of the fund's money can be used for administrative costs, and the rest will be allocated to an organization that meets specific criteria, including promoting traditional values, having a grassroots activist network on campuses, assisting college students with voting, and having been founded in 2012. The bill also makes conforming changes to existing statutes regarding the definition of highway user revenues and the uses of the state highway fund to reflect the inclusion of these new special plates and their associated fees and donations.
