 1                                        AN ACT
 2    RELATING TO MILITARY SELECTIVE SERVICE REGISTRATION; AMENDING TITLE 46,  IDAHO
 3        CODE, BY THE ADDITION OF A NEW CHAPTER 5, TITLE 46, IDAHO CODE, TO PROVIDE
 4        THE  PURPOSE  OF  THE CHAPTER, TO PROVIDE LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS, TO PROVIDE
 5        ELIGIBILITY FOR POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION AND FOR FINANCIAL  ASSISTANCE,  TO
 6        PROVIDE ELIGIBILITY FOR EMPLOYMENT AND TO PROVIDE EXCEPTIONS.

 7    Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:

 8        SECTION  1.  That Title 46, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby amended
 9    by the addition thereto of a  NEW CHAPTER , to be known and  desig-
10    nated as Chapter 5, Title 46, Idaho Code, and to read as follows:

11                                      CHAPTER 5
12               SELECTIVE SERVICE REGISTRATION AWARENESS AND COMPLIANCE

13        46-501.  PURPOSE OF THE CHAPTER. The purpose of this chapter is to encour-
14    age  compliance with the federal military selective service act and to protect
15    the eligibility of the citizens of this state who are subject  to  the  provi-
16    sions of the federal statute to receive federal financial assistance for post-
17    secondary  education  and for employment with the executive branch of the fed-
18    eral government. The federal selective service registration awareness and com-
19    pliance act requires persons subject to the provisions of the federal military
20    selective service act to be in compliance with the requirements of  that  fed-
21    eral statute as a condition of eligibility for enrollment at a state-supported
22    institution  of  postsecondary education, or for state-supported scholarships,
23    programs of financial assistance funded by  state  revenue  including  federal
24    funds,  gifts  or grants accepted by the state, or for employment by the state
25    or any political subdivision.

26        46-502.  LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS. The legislature of the state of Idaho finds
27    that the military selective service act at 50 U.S.C. sec. 451 et seq. requires
28    all male citizens and every other male person residing in the  United  States,
29    except  for  lawfully  admitted nonimmigrant aliens, upon reaching their eigh-
30    teenth birthday to register with the United States selective  service  system.
31    The legislature further finds that federal statutes limit eligibility for fed-
32    eral  student  financial  assistance and eligibility for employment within the
33    executive branch of the federal government to persons who  are  in  compliance
34    with the requirements of the federal military selective service act.

35        46-503.  ELIGIBILITY  FOR POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

38    ance with the federal military selective service act.

40    cial assistance for postsecondary education funded by state revenue, including


                                           2

 1    federal funds or gifts and grants accepted by this state, or receive a student
 2    loan guaranteed by the state unless he is in compliance with the federal mili-
 3    tary selective service act.
 4        (3)  It shall be the duty of all officials having charge of and  authority
 5    over  state-supported  institutions  of  postsecondary  education and over the
 6    granting of state-supported financial assistance for  postsecondary  education
 7    to  assure themselves that applicants are in compliance with the federal mili-
 8    tary selective service act.

 9        46-504.  ELIGIBILITY FOR EMPLOYMENT -- RESPONSIBILITY  TO  VERIFY  COMPLI-
10    ANCE.  (1)  No male person who has attained the age of eighteen (18) years who
11    fails to be in compliance with the federal selective service act shall be eli-
12    gible for employment by or service for the state of Idaho, or a political sub-
13    division of the state, including  all  boards  and  commissions,  departments,
14    agencies, institutions and instrumentalities.
15        (2)  It  shall be the duty of all officials having charge of and authority
16    over hiring of employees by the state or political subdivisions of  the  state
17    to  assure themselves that applicants are in compliance with the federal mili-
18    tary selective service act.

19        46-505.  EXCEPTIONS TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS CHAPTER.  A  person  shall
20    not  be  denied  a right, privilege or benefit under this chapter by reason of
21    failure to present himself for and submit to the requirement to register  pur-
22    suant to the federal military selective service act if:
23        (1)  The  requirement  for  the  person  to  so register has terminated or
24    become inapplicable to the person; or
25        (2)  The person is serving or has already served in the armed  forces,  or
26    has a condition that would preclude acceptability for military service.
