-
Refusal to consent cannot be used to deny driving privileges or discriminate against applicants; notices must be provided verbally and in writing in English, Spanish, and other languages
-
The RMV is prohibited from distributing or maintaining lists of applicants who declined or consented to Selective Service registration, except as necessary for registry operations
