Makes consent to register with Selective Service part of driver's license application process for males under age 26.
New Jersey's S 582 requires males under 26 applying for or renewing a driver's license, learner's permit, or nondriver ID card to consent to registering with the Selective Service System. The law mandates the Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to forward applicant information to the Selective Service System and print a notice on applications stating that submission constitutes consent to register (or register at age 18 if under 18). This applies to all male U.S. citizens and immigrants under 26 during license-related transactions. The bill aims to simplify compliance with federal Selective Service registration, which carries penalties including fines up to $250,000, imprisonment, and loss of federal benefits like student aid if not completed.
