Bill > HB4069

This bill establishes a new special license plate program in Arizona for police service dogs, requiring an initial payment of $32,000 for implementation by December 31, 2026, and allowing the entity providing the funds to design the plate, subject to departmental approval. A portion of the $25 fee for these special plates will be allocated to administration and an annual donation, with the donations going into a dedicated "police service dogs special plate fund" which will reimburse the initial implementer and then support qualified non-profit organizations that promote the use of police service dogs, provide educational programs, and assist law enforcement agencies in implementing such programs. The bill also makes conforming changes to existing statutes regarding license plate design, special plate issuance, and the definition and use of highway user revenues, ensuring that the special plate administration fees and donations are correctly accounted for and directed to their intended purposes, including the state highway fund and the new police service dog fund.
