AI Summary
This bill removes the requirement for individuals to have registered for the Selective Service, which is a federal law requiring most male U.S. citizens and immigrants to register for a potential draft, in order to be eligible for state-funded financial aid programs. Specifically, it amends the Two-Year College Transfer Grant Program and the Virginia Tuition Assistance Grant Program, as well as any other state direct tuition assistance, to no longer disqualify applicants who have not registered for the Selective Service.
