ARIZONA STATE SENATE
Fifty-Sixth Legislature, Second Regular Session
FACT SHEET FOR H.B. 2567
ovarian cancer plates; deadline extension
Purpose
Extends, until December 31, 2025, the implementation fee deadline for an ovarian cancer
awareness special plate.
Background
The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) Motor Vehicle Division provides one
license plate to every motor vehicle owner for each vehicle registered. ADOT must issue or renew
special plates in lieu of the regular license plates under specified conditions and procedures (A.R.S.
§§ 28-2351 and 28-2403).
ADOT must issue an ovarian cancer awareness special plate if a person pays the $32,000
implementation fee by December 31, 2022. The fee for obtaining or renewing an ovarian cancer
awareness special plate is $25. Of the $25 fee, $8 is an administration fee that ADOT deposits in
the State Highway Fund and $17 is a donation that ADOT deposits in the Ovarian Cancer
Awareness Special Plate Fund which are annually allocated to an entity that is a 501(c)(3)
organization that must: 1) be a women's health organization; 2) have a mission to save lives by
fighting to prevent and cure ovarian cancer and improve survivors' quality of life; 3) raise
awareness about ovarian cancer signs, symptoms and risk factors and educate the public about the
power of early detection; 4) provide resources, services and support so that women with ovarian
cancer can live extraordinary lives; 5) fund the most impactful research initiatives that push
forward the study of ovarian cancer detection and treatment; and 6) create nationwide movements
to activate communities across the United States to become involved in the battle against ovarian
cancer (A.R.S. §§ 28-2402 and 28-2470.15).
There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the state General Fund associated with this
legislation.
Provisions
1. Requires ADOT to issue an ovarian cancer awareness special plate if a person pays the
implementation fee by December 31, 2025, rather than December 31, 2022.
2. Becomes effective on the general effective date, retroactive to December 31, 2022.
