AI Summary
This bill establishes a new "returning warrior" special license plate program in Arizona. To implement this program, a person must pay $32,000 to the Department of Transportation by December 31, 2026, and this individual will also design the plates, subject to departmental approval. A portion of the $25 fee for these special plates will be allocated for administration, with the remainder serving as an annual donation to a fund supporting veterans transitioning to civilian life, providing financial assistance, community support, coordination with veterans affairs, and mental health initiatives. The bill also makes conforming changes to existing laws regarding license plate design and the allocation of highway user revenues, ensuring that special plate administration fees, including those from the new returning warrior plates, are directed to the state highway fund, while donations are channeled to the dedicated returning warrior special plate fund.
