special plate; adaptive sports; recreation

HB 2441 creates a new "adaptive sports and recreation special plate" for Arizona vehicle owners. To implement this, a single entity must pay $32,000 to the state department to design and fund the plates, which must be approved by the department. Owners who purchase these plates pay a $25 annual fee, with $17 of that amount directed to a dedicated fund supporting adaptive sports and recreation programs. The bill specifies that plate design must meet state readability and contrast requirements, and the $17 donations will be deposited into a specific fund established by this legislation. This is a funding mechanism for adaptive sports programs through a specialized license plate program.
