Eliminates the requirement for men to register with Selective Service.
The problem
The Selective Service System requires male citizens to register for potential military conscription. Some argue it is outdated, costly, or unfairly excludes women from the same obligation.
The proposal
Repeals the Military Selective Service Act, ending the federal requirement for men to register and eliminating the Selective Service System.
The impact
Men no longer required to register. Military recruitment and emergency mobilization plans would change. System administration costs would be eliminated.
Eliminates costs of running the Selective Service System and enforcement. Saves taxpayer money used for administration and penalties for non-registration.
Men are no longer required to register or face penalties. Simplifies compliance requirements for citizens and reduces enforcement actions.
Ends a legal requirement that applies only to men. Aligns with arguments that military service obligations should be equal or optional for all genders.
Reflects shift to professional volunteer military. Removes relic of Cold War-era conscription model no longer used in peacetime.
Eliminates system for rapid mobilization if major conflict occurs. Could make large-scale military recruitment slower in national emergency.
Defense Department relies on Selective Service data and infrastructure for contingency planning. Removal creates uncertainty about recruitment capacity in crisis.
Military would need higher recruitment budgets if voluntary recruitment becomes less efficient. Could shift costs from registration to advertising and recruiting efforts.
Selective Service provides contact information and registration database useful for various purposes. Eliminates a system that functions during peacetime.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
