Bill overview
This bill seeks to permanently eliminate the Selective Service registration requirement for men aged 18-26 in the United States. It repeals the Military Selective Service Act, which established the system for collecting these registrations, and ensures that individuals who previously failed to register will not face penalties. The bill also directs the transfer of the Selective Service System’s assets and records to the General Services Administration. Finally, it clarifies that past failure to register should not be used to deny rights or benefits.
