AZ state tartan
From the Caledonian Society of Arizona:
The tartan is one of the two great symbols of Scotland, along with the bagpipes. Each clan has a tartan, sometimes more than one; members can be identified by the tartan they wear. In addition to clan and family tartans, there are also tartans for districts and special organizations. At the Games you will see the official tartan of the United States Marine Corps along with the Arizona State tartan. The “Arizona State Tartan” was officially recognized in December, 1995, by a proclamation by the Governor. Colors in the Arizona tartan are green, tan, white, red, black, yellow, and azure, all significant to the state’s history. Many Arizona citizens were involved in creating this newest symbol of our State with the common goal of celebrating a part of our Scottish heritage.

I would contact these folks. You might also contact the governor's office and see if they can get a copy of the legislation.
The AZ tartan is next on my list.
Cheers, 
Todd
ps: I've moved this thread to the heraldry & tartans section.
