Plain-English Summary

The proposal would eliminate the requirement for men to register with Selective Service, the government system that maintains a list of potential draftees in case of national emergency. Currently, men ages 18-25 must register or face penalties, though the U.S. has not conducted a draft since 1973. Repealing this law would end that registration requirement and the associated enforcement mechanisms.
