SB1190: collegiate plates; community college enrollment
Sponsor: Senator Wadsack, LD 17
Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure
Overview
Reduces, from 50,000 to 9,000, the minimum full-time equivalent (FTE) student enrollment
for a community college district (CCD) required to establish a CCD collegiate special plate
fund.
History
A CCD with an FTE student enrollment of more than 50,000 students must establish a CCD
Collegiate Special Plate Fund (Fund). The CCD must administer the Fund and all monies in
the Fund must be used only for academic scholarships. The Fund is exempt from lapsing and
at the direction of the CCD, the State Treasurer may invest and divest inactive monies in the
Fund and must credit all interest earned on the Fund monies to the Fund (A.R.S. § 15-1447).
The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) must issue Collegiate Special Plates that
identify each university or CCD. The collegiate special plates must have the same color and
design as the collegiate license plates issued on or before December 31, 1992, except that on
the request of a university or a CCD, ADOT may revise the color and design of the plates as
appropriate for the university or CCD. ADOT must deposit all special plate administration
fees in the State Highway Fund and must transmit the collegiate plate annual donations to
the Arizona Board of Regents for placement in the appropriate university collegiate special
plate fund and to the CCD Collegiate Special Plate Fund.
A CCD is a community college district that is a political subdivision of this state and that has
an FTE enrollment of more than 50,000 students (A.R.S. § 28-2412).
An FTE student is a student enrollment for 15 community college semester credit units per
semester (A.R.S. § 15-1401).
