AI Summary

  • Applicants ages 18-25 applying for a driver's license, learner's permit, or ID card would automatically authorize the RMV to register them with the Selective Service System through their signature, unless they opt out

  • Applicants ages 16-17 would be notified of their federal duty to register at age 18, and their signature would constitute consent to be registered upon turning 18 unless they decline

  • 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

  • Implementation is contingent on receiving sufficient federal funds for computer programming costs, with the registrar required to report to legislative committees when funds are received
