S 2429 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Makes consent to register with Selective Service part of driver's license application process for males under age 26.

This bill requires New Jersey males under age 26 to consent to Selective Service registration when applying for or renewing a driver's license, learner's permit, or nondriver ID card. The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) must forward applicants' personal information to the Selective Service System to facilitate registration, with a printed notice on applications confirming this consent. It applies to initial applications and renewals for all standard license/ID types, with the notice stating applicants consent to registration if required by federal law (or upon turning 18 for minors under 18). The bill does not mandate registration but enables it through the driver's license process, aligning with federal requirements that failure to register can block benefits like student aid or citizenship eligibility.
