A. The department shall issue gold star family special plates to a person who
submits satisfactory proof to the department that the person is an immediate family
member of a person who died while on active duty in the United States military if a
charitable organization affiliated with an Arizona professional basketball club donates
thirty-two thousand dollars to the veterans' donations fund established by section 41-608
for the purpose of paying the implementation costs of the gold star family special
plates. The costs of implementing the gold star family special plates shall be paid by
the monies in the veterans' donations fund established by section 41-608 that were

the fees for the personalized special plates in addition to the fees required for gold
star family special plates.

special plates and for renewal of special plates, eight dollars is a special plate
administration fee and seventeen dollars is an annual donation.
