CA SB1081

Requires persons under 26 years old applying for a driver's license, identification card, or renewal to be deemed to have consented to registration with the United States Selective Service System unless they decline by checking a "Don't Register" box on the application.

Mandates the Department of Motor Vehicles provide written notice in English, Spanish, and other languages informing applicants of their federal obligation to register with Selective Service and that refusal to consent will not result in denial of driving privileges.

Requires the DMV to transmit only necessary personal information to the United States Selective Service System in electronic format if the applicant authorizes registration.

Prohibits the DMV from compiling, maintaining, or distributing lists of applicants who declined to authorize transmission of their information to the Selective Service System, except as necessary for departmental operations.

Implementation becomes operative upon completion of the Digital eXperience Platform project or January 1, 2027, whichever is later, and is contingent upon the DMV receiving sufficient federal funding for startup and implementation costs.
