A 1891 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

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

This bill requires males under age 26 in New Jersey who apply for or renew a driver's license, learner's permit, or nondriver ID card to consent to registering with the federal Selective Service System. The Motor Vehicle Commission would forward applicants' personal information to the Selective Service System upon submission of the application, serving as consent for registration if not already completed. Failure to register under federal law can result in fines up to $250,000, imprisonment, or loss of federal benefits like student loans and citizenship eligibility. The bill directly affects young men applying for these licenses, aiming to simplify compliance with federal draft registration requirements. It does not create new registration obligations but integrates the process into existing license applications.
