HR 84 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A Resolution urging the Congress of the United States to amend the Military Selective Service Act to require both men and women to register for the draft.

This Pennsylvania House resolution (HR 84) urges Congress to amend the Military Selective Service Act to require all individuals aged 18-26 - regardless of gender - to register for potential military service. Currently, only men in that age range must register under federal law. The resolution cites women's long history of military service, including combat roles since 2013, and notes women now comprise 17.5% of active-duty forces. It specifically calls for gender-neutral registration as a step toward full equity in the military. (Note: This is a non-binding resolution, not a bill with legislative effect.)
