Arizona rules provide cause plates and set limits on road and camera use

The transportation department shall issue special plates tied to specified causes and direct donations to funds for those causes. The provisions name 20 cause-related plate programs, covering areas such as health, education, public safety, veterans, wildlife, and the Grand Canyon. Each fund has its own organization requirements. A person must pay $32,000 to the department by December 31, 2026, for each plate program to proceed. The department must approve the plate design and colors. Of the $25 plate fee, $8 is for administration and $17 is an annual donation; personalized plates may cost extra if the director allows them. The director sends donations to an eligible organization specified for each fund. The first $32,000 collected for each fund repays the person who paid the setup fee, and up to 10% of annual deposits may cover fund costs. The setup payment for each program must arrive by December 31, 2026. The director shall allocate money from each fund annually.

The transportation department shall issue special plates to qualifying Bronze Star and Silver Star recipients and their immediate family members. The plates are for veterans who received a Bronze Star or Silver Star medal and their immediate family members. A veteran must give the department satisfactory proof of being a genuine recipient of the named medal. Each original plate costs $25 in addition to the regular registration fee. Each annual renewal costs $5 in addition to that fee; the $25 original-plate fee goes to the Veterans' Donations Fund. The department shall issue these plates from and after December 31, 2026.

The transportation director or the director's designee may designate a state highway or route as a primitive road, and the department must post warning signs. The director or the director's designee may designate a state highway or route. The signs must warn that the road is not regularly maintained and that people use it at their own risk. The state and its employees are not liable for harm from using a designated road except for intentional injuries or gross negligence by an employee acting within the scope of the employee's work.

A contract between a police agency and a business using a vehicle-identifying camera system must bar the business from selling or sharing the data it collects. The rule covers businesses that use such camera systems and have a contract with a law enforcement agency. The rule applies when the camera system's sole purpose is identifying motor vehicles. The contract must prohibit both selling the data and sharing it with third parties.

The department shall require a license update or a vision report when a driver's license has not been updated in the preceding sixteen years. This provision applies to driver license holders. The department may require an update at any time during the sixteen-year period after a license is issued. The update or report is required when the license has not been updated in the preceding sixteen years; the director may require an update sooner.
