Rotary Club of Sun Lakes Club President, Stephen Phair, recently announced that House Bill 2062 recently passed through the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and will now move to the Arizona House Floor for a vote to approve Rotary license plates.
 
The State of Arizona allows organizations such as Rotary Clubs of Arizona, the opportunity when registering vehicles to support local charities. To date, Rotarians in Arizona have had to choose other charities to support because there is no license plate for Rotarian's in Arizona to show their pride.
 
That is all about to change.
 
As People of Action, Rotarians are working with Arizona state legislators to create a Rotarian license plate. Rotary International District 5495 Governor, Larry Horton and RCSL Sun Lakes President Stephen Phair recently made a trip to the Arizona House of Representatives to meet with Rep Jennifer Pawlik.
 
RCSL President Phair was able to speak to the T&I Committee on behalf of HB2062 and Rotary; met with House Sergeant At Arms; and toured the Capital with Past District 5495 Governor Chuck Fitzgerald.
Arizona Rotary leaders ask that you contact your representatives and senators to ask them to support HB2062 so Arizona Rotarians can get their own license plate. 
 
The initial cost for the program and legislation is $32,000 to cover the administration, design, and hours needed to create this opportunity for Arizona Rotarians. Individually, when registering your vehicle, you will have the opportunity to select the Rotary license plate to be proudly displayed on your vehicle's.
The additional cost of $25 per registration will be paid for the Specialty Plate with $17 going back to the Rotary Clubs of Arizona. If we work that backwards, our breakeven is only 1,883 license plates.
 
Fellow Rotarians are asking for your help in raising the initial $32,000 and spreading the awareness of this program.
