The Military Selective Service Act (MSSA; 50 U.S.C. §3801 et seq.) provides statutory authority for the federal government to maintain an independent Selective Service Agency responsible for managing the Selective Service System (SSS) and for providing qualified civilian men for induction into the U.S. Armed Forces if authorized by Congress and the President. Under the MSSA, all male U.S. citizens and most male noncitizen residents of the United States between the ages of 18 and 26 are required to proactively register with the SSS under 50 U.S.C. §3802. Women are not required to register. Knowingly or willfully failing to register may result in certain federal and state penalties including fines, imprisonment, and ineligibility for federal employment or workforce programs. Although the registration requirement remains in effect, the United States has had an all-volunteer force since 1973 and Congress has not passed any legislation since then to reinstate the draft induction authority. If Congress and the President were to reinstate the draft induction authority, some deferments and exemptions, including religious exemptions, would apply under current law.
