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 28-2470.40; Amending sections 28-6501, 28-6991 and 28-6993, Arizona Revised Statutes; Relating to special plates.

AI Summary

This bill establishes a new special license plate for an astronomy center, allowing for the creation of "astronomy center special plates" if a designated entity pays $32,000 for implementation by December 31, 2026, with the entity also designing the plates subject to departmental approval. Of the $25 fee for these special plates, $8 will cover administrative costs and $17 will be an annual donation to an astronomy center special plate fund. This fund will reimburse the initial implementation fee and then allocate money to qualifying non-profit astronomy organizations that support observatories in the Flagstaff area, with a portion reserved for fund administration. The bill also makes conforming changes to existing Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS) sections related to license plate design, special plate issuance, highway user revenues, and the state highway fund to incorporate the new astronomy center special plates and their associated fees and donations.
