SB 1552 Arizona Senate · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

ADOT; revisions.

SB 1552 is a procedural bill that revises definitions within Arizona's transportation laws (specifically Arizona Revised Statutes Title 28). It updates terminology for terms like "all-terrain vehicle," "autonomous vehicle," "electric bicycle," and "dynamic driving task" to clarify legal language used by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). The bill does not create new policies or affect specific groups; it solely standardizes existing definitions for consistency in transportation regulations. This type of definitional revision is common in legislative updates to ensure clarity in existing statutes.

MODERATE
This bill transforms from a minor technical update into a comprehensive legislative overhaul that repeals the old honorary consular plate section and establishes a new system for issuing special license plates. The core change is the creation of 19 distinct special plate categories (such as skin cancer prevention, diabetes awareness, and law enforcement support), each funded by a $32,000 implementation fee and ongoing $17 annual donations per plate. These funds are directed to specific non-profit organizations or state programs focused on health, education, and community support.
Scope change
The bill's scope expanded significantly from amending a few existing sections to adding 19 new special plate sections and repealing the section governing honorary consular officials, effectively replacing that program with the new donation-based special plate system.
FISCAL

Established 19 new special plate categories, each requiring a one-time $32,000 implementation fee and a recurring $17 annual donation per plate.

Created specific funds for each new plate category, with monies allocated to designated 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(6) non-profit organizations or state programs.

SCOPE

Repealed Section 28-2410, which previously governed the issuance of honorary consular official special plates.

TIMELINE

Set a deadline of December 31, 2026, for the one-time implementation fee payments required to activate each new special plate category.

DEFINITION

Amended the list of amended statutes to include the new special plate sections and removed references to the repealed honorary consular section.

REQUIREMENT

Added requirements for the Department of Transportation to issue specific special plates only after receiving the required implementation fee and design approval.
