	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2574, as amended, Briggs.  Vehicles:  driver's license:
selective service registration.
   Existing law requires every applicant for an original or a renewal
of, a driver's license to provide appropriate information concerning
identification, personal history, health, knowledge of traffic signs
and signals, and the type of motor vehicle the applicant desires to
operate.  Existing federal law, the Military Selective Service Act,
requires certain males residing in the United States to register in
accordance to rules and regulations adopted in accordance with
federal law.  Existing law also requires all state agencies to
cooperate with the United States Selective Service System to
publicize the necessity of, and the requirements for compliance with
the federal act.
   This bill would require the Department of Motor Vehicles, for
every  male  applicant between 18 and 26 years of
age, inclusive, with certain exceptions, for an original or a renewal
of, a driver's license to  provide the applicant, at the time of
application, with notification that the applicant is or will be
required to be in compliance with the federal act and that if the
applicant is not already registered with the federal Selective
Service System,  he will be registered automatically as a
result of submitting the application to the department  
the applicant may register with the service by checking an
appropriate box on the application  .  The bill would also
require the department,  if federal financial support is
provided, and  in cooperation with the federal selective service
system, to develop the  notification form and applicable
implementation procedures.
   The bill would make other, conforming changes in existing law.
   Vote:  majority.  Appropriation:  no.  Fiscal committee:  yes.
State-mandated local program:  no.
