S 4537 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A bill to repeal the Military Selective Service Act.

This bill proposes to completely end the Military Selective Service Act, which currently governs the draft and registration of men for military service. Upon passage, the Selective Service System would cease operations, and its assets and records would be transferred to the General Services Administration while helping its staff find new government positions. The legislation also ensures that individuals who previously failed to register for the draft cannot face penalties, lose federal benefits, or be denied employment based on that failure. Additionally, the bill explicitly states that the rights of conscientious objectors will remain protected by existing laws.
