House Bill Automates Selective Service Registration for Young Men

Misleading social media posts stir confusion about the bill, which does not reinstitute the military draft.

The House passed a bill to automate Selective Service registration for men aged 18-25.
Mandatory registration for the draft has been in place for over 75 years, despite recent misinformation.
The bill aims to streamline the process and improve compliance, not to start a new draft.
Social media has incorrectly suggested that automatic registration equates to immediate conscription.
The Senate has yet to consider the bill, and no active draft has been conducted since 1973.
