That had accounted for nearly a quarter of all registrations in prior years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2024\/01\/26\/lawmakers-push-for-better-mental-health-care-for-new-moms\/\" target=\"_blank\">Rep. Chrissy Houlahan<\/a>, D-Pa., sponsored the automatic registration language and called it both a money-saving and common-sense reform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBy using available federal databases, the [Selective Service] agency will be able to register all of the individuals required and thus help ensure that any future military draft is fair and equitable,\u201d she said during debate on the idea Wednesday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis will also allow us to rededicate resources \u2014 basically that means money \u2014 towards reading readiness and towards mobilization \u2026 rather than towards education and advertising campaigns driven to register people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Selective Service System costs roughly $30 million a year. Lawmakers have proposed a number of reforms to the database in recent years, including adding women and completely eliminating the agency altogether, but none have made it through Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest proposal was approved unanimously by the committee but still must advance through the full House and Senate before it can become law. The authorization bill, which contains a myriad of military budget and policy priorities, is expected to be finalized by the two chambers sometime this fall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All men ages 18 to 26 would be automatically enrolled in the Selective Service System under a plan approved by a House committee Wednesday
