The Civil Conscription and You
As one of her first acts after the election, the President signed into law the Civil Conscription Act of 2017. This law, which went into effect on January 1, 2018, provides for the expansion of the Selective Service authority to include both males and females, and for the service to re-focus on development and recovery efforts within the United States.
All US citizens and resident aliens between the ages of 17 and 29 are required to register for Civil Conscription. Failure to register will result in a loss of any government aid, fines, and for resident aliens, the possibility of deportation.
As of 2019, approximately 1% of qualifying registrants are drafted, with a required service of two years (with the potential to have that expanded for another two years, in the case of national emergency). At present, most conscripts have been assigned to help with the New Orleans Final Recovery, helping to save and move what remains of historical buildings and art, and assisting with relocation of remaining residents.
