”On July 2, 1980, President Jimmy Carter issued Presidential Proclamation 4771 and re-instated the requirement that young men register with the Selective Service System.[83] At that time it was required that all males, born on or after January 1, 1960, register with the Selective Service System. Those who were now in this category were male U.S. citizens and male immigrant non-citizens between the ages of 18 and 25; they were required to register within 30 days of their 18th birthday even if they were not actually eligible to join the military.
The Selective Service System, still in essentials what it was in 1980, describes its mission as "to serve the emergency manpower needs of the Military by conscripting untrained manpower, or personnel with professional health care skills, if directed by Congress and the President in a national crisis".[84] Registration forms are available either online, or at any U.S. Post Office or DMV.
The Selective Service registration form states that failure to register is a felony punishable by up to five years imprisonment or a $250,000 fine.[85] In practice, though, no one has been prosecuted for failure to comply with draft registration since 1986,[86] in part because prosecutions of draft resisters proved counter-productive for the government during the Vietnam War, and in part because of the difficulty of proving that noncompliance with the law was "knowing and wilful". In interviews published in U.S. News & World Report in May 2016, current and former Selective Service System officials said that in 1988, the Department of Justice and Selective Service agreed to suspend any further prosecutions of nonregistrants.[87] Many men do not register at all, register late, or change addresses without notifying the Selective Service System.[88]
Even in the absence of prosecution, however, failure to register may lead to other consequences. Registration is a requirement for employment by the federal government and some state governments, as well as for receiving various state benefits such as driver's licenses.[89] Refusing to register can also cause a loss of eligibility for federal financial aid for college.[90]“
