SD 360 Massachusetts Senate · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act to ensure benefits through enhanced Selective Service registration

This bill requires Massachusetts DMV to ask applicants aged 16-26 to authorize registration with the Selective Service System when applying for or renewing a driver's license, learner's permit, or ID card. Applicants who are 16-17 will be notified about their future obligation to register at age 18, while those 18-25 will be asked to consent to DMV forwarding their information to Selective Service upon turning 18. The bill explicitly states that refusing this authorization cannot lead to denial of driving privileges or discrimination, and it prohibits DMVs from creating or sharing lists of those who decline. Implementation depends on securing federal funds for necessary computer system updates.
