SELECTIVE SERVICE REGISTRATION S.B. 934: FLOOR ANALYSIS
Senate Bill 934 (as reported without amendment)
Sponsor: Senator Valde Garcia
Committee: Transportation
CONTENT
The bill would amend the Michigan Vehicle Code to require the Secretary of State, beginning June 1, 2006, to obtain the consent and information necessary to register an individual with the Federal Selective Service System in accordance with the Military Selective Service Act (50 USC Appx 453), including the individual's Social Security number, at the time the individual applied for a driver license.
Under the bill, by applying for an operator's license or chauffeur's license, a male U.S. citizen or immigrant to the United States less than 26 years old would give his consent to the Secretary of State to be registered by the Federal Selective Service System if so required by Federal law. The license application form would have to state that the submission of the application served as the applicant's consent to be registered. The form also would have to include the statement, "If under the age of 18, I understand that I will be registered when I attain the age of 18 if so required by federal law."
The Secretary of State would have to forward the information obtained in an application to the Selective Service System in a format consistent with Selective Service System requirements.
The bill would take effect on June 1, 2006.
