2021 West Virginia Code|Chapter 17B. Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses|Article 2A. Requirement of Compliance With Selective Service Registration|§17B-2A-1. Legislative Intent

It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this article to protect state residents from the penalties associated with failing to register with the United States selective service system and to help ensure that any future draft is fair and equitable to all potential draftees.The Legislature finds and declares that the penalties associated with noncompliance are severe, including, but not limited to, a felony conviction and forfeiture of the ability to seek state employment from certain state agencies and departments.
