Bill > SB1439

This bill establishes a new special license plate for a "conservative grassroots network" in Arizona, requiring a one-time payment of $32,000 for implementation by December 31, 2026, and allowing the entity that pays this fee to design the plate, subject to departmental approval. A portion of the $25 fee for these special plates will be allocated as an administration fee to the state highway fund and the remainder as an annual donation to a newly established "conservative grassroots network special plate fund." This fund will be administered by the director, with the initial $32,000 implementation fee being reimbursed to the payer, and up to ten percent of annual funds used for administration. Monies in the fund will be allocated to an entity that meets specific criteria, including promoting traditional values, operating a grassroots activist network, assisting college students with voter registration, and having been founded in 2012. The bill also makes conforming changes to existing statutes regarding license plate design, special plate issuance, and the definition and uses of highway user revenues and the state highway fund, ensuring that special plate administration fees are correctly categorized and directed.
