Bill > S2281

This bill aims to ensure benefits through enhanced Selective Service registration. The key provisions are: 1. Applicants for driver's licenses, learner's permits, or ID cards who are between 18 and 26 years old will be automatically registered with the Selective Service System unless they explicitly decline. This is done through their signature on the application. 2. The Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) must notify applicants between 16 and 26 years old of their legal duty to register with the Selective Service System at age 18, and that their signature on the application will authorize the RMV to register them unless they decline. 3. The RMV cannot deny driving privileges or discriminate against applicants who decline to authorize the RMV to register them with the Selective Service System. 4. The RMV cannot maintain or distribute a list of those who declined to be registered, except for internal administrative purposes. 5. Implementation of the bill is contingent on the RMV receiving sufficient federal funds to cover the initial start-up costs for the necessary computer programming changes.
