To view the full bill while on the www.azleg.gov/ website you can find it under the Bills tab, select Bill Information then choose HB2651- 2700 and then HB 2679. Then left click on the bill and on show versions and choose HTML or PDF (The PDF prints cleaner if you desire to print a copy). The first sections are boiler plate language, section 28-2429 A through E are the meat of our bill. As you can see, the initial $32,000.00 raised will flow back into the Grand Lodge for the implementation fee and all plates sold and renewed after that point will contribute $17.00 each every year to our Masonic Charities!
We will be voting at Grand Lodge in June to authorize our Grand Trustees to pay the fully refundable implementation fee, provided that HB 2679 passes. Please contact your elected State Officials today and encourage them to do their part in making an Arizona Masonic License Plate a reality!
