This bill relocates the Selective Service Registration Awareness and Compliance Act from RSA chapter 187-A to chapter 112, specifically creating a new subdivision under RSA 112. The new provisions stipulate that individuals who are not in compliance with the Military Selective Service Act, having reached the age of 18, are ineligible for employment or service with the state or its political subdivisions. It also establishes that individuals who have authorized the Department of Safety to submit their information to the Selective Service System are considered compliant. Additionally, the bill places the responsibility for ensuring compliance on officials responsible for hiring within the state.
Furthermore, the bill outlines exceptions to the compliance requirement, including individuals whose registration requirement has terminated, those who have served in the military, or those with conditions that preclude military service. It also explicitly exempts state-supported institutions of postsecondary education from these requirements. The bill repeals sections 38 through 41 of RSA 187-A, which previously governed the Service Registration Awareness and Compliance Act, and it will take effect 60 days after passage.
