Plain-language change summary

The amendment to SB 1045 changes the title from "license plates; professional soccer" to "Arizona professional soccer plates." This shift makes it clear that the bill focuses specifically on creating special license plates for Arizona's professional soccer clubs. This matters because it establishes a new way for soccer fans to support their teams financially, with part of the fees from these plates going towards funding related initiatives.
