Effective Jan. 1, 2009, Arizona Revised Statute (A.R.S.) 28-2354, has been amended to state that "a person shall maintain each license plate so it is clearly legible and so that the name of this state at the top of the license plate shall not be obscured."
The revision was added to the existing requirement for the proper attachment and legible display of the Arizona license plate.
The actual Arizona law has been copied into this document and can also be found at: www.azleg.state.az.us
Frequently asked questions to further explain A.R.S. 28-2354B:
Does the change apply to out of state or foreign license plates?
No, the revision only applies to Arizona license plates.
Can some of the word "Arizona" be covered and not be in violation?
No, the requirement is that the name of the state at the top of the license plate not be obscured.
Does this change help law enforcement?
The requirement to have the state name of "Arizona" clearly visible and not obscured provides several benefits. The most important benefit centers on citizens who witness a crime involving a motor vehicle or otherwise recognizes a license plate from a broadcast for an Amber Alert or other Attempt to Locate will better able the witness to identify the "Arizona" and the characters on the plate.
What is the fine for anyone that is cited for violating this law?
The fines vary throughout the state according to the traffic court that has jurisdiction. The fines can range from $110.00 to $200.00 statewide, the average fine appears to be about $136.00 throughout the Valley.
Is this a primary or secondary enforcement law?
Primary enforcement, which means any law enforcement officer can make a traffic stop on the vehicle solely for violation of A.R.S. 28-2354B. It additionally is classified as a civil sanction offense.
Was this change requested by the Arizona Department of Public Safety?
DPS was not a part of the legislation that created this revision.
If I attached the license plate frame that covers the name Arizona before the revision went into effect, or it was placed on my vehicle by the dealership where it was purchased will that exempt my plate from the law?
On Jan. 1, 2009, when the revision becomes effective, it will apply to all Arizona license plates and their proper display, regardless when the license plate was first attached or whatever frame was placed on it.

Melissa, that is a good idea. Thanks for checking it out.

Staci: I worked here at Superior Court for years and handled a lot of the lower court traffic appeals. Let's read what the new law states before modifying the plate cover. It's probably very specific.
Give me a few minutes to find the statute

Staci, I was wondering about cutting it away myself. And I don't even have a license plate cover. But that's a great idea.
We definitely don't want anymore money going to the government over something like this-we'd rather blitz a ship-right Staci?

there you go Jenny. I have a Navy sticker on my back window and on the passernger side of the windshield.

The license plate issue came up when the police realized that the camera's taking pictures of cars running red lights had the state of their plate covered. A lot of tickets were dismissed b/c the police could not prove what state the plate was from.

At the risk of irritating you all, I have to say that the police need to be able to read a license plate. I am a firm supporter of the military, but I also want the police officers to be safe. and if removing a license plate cover will help accomplish that, then so be it.
A re-design of the plate would make sense, but in the meantime, I like Jenny's idea to move it to the front of the car. It is still proudly displayed and no risk of a ticket and fines. Wouldn't you rather spend the fine money on sending a package to your child or one of the sailor's in "Molly's adopt a sailor group"?
Happy New Year!
