The House of Representatives decisively passed a resolution on Friday mandating the automatic enrollment of young men for selective service and extending the mandatory draft age by one year to encompass men aged 18-26.

Young men are already required to register for selective service if they are between the ages of 18 and 25, but the new resolution would enroll them automatically. Although the draft has not been used in half a century, it is considered a felony if an eligible man fails to register, Fox News reported.

The resolution was included in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which approves the defense budget for the next fiscal year and includes the government’s top priorities regarding defense and national security policies. The NDAA passed the House by 217-199 votes.

“By 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,” Democratic Pennsylvania Rep. Chrissy Houlahan noted during a debate on the resolution last month, according to Defense News. “This will also allow us to rededicate resources — basically that means money — towards readiness and towards mobilization … rather than towards education and advertising campaigns driven to register people.”

The NDAA also included controversial measures on abortion, LGBTQ issues, and diversity efforts, limiting its ability to pass in the Democratic-led Senate. It also included a substantial pay raise for service members, with a 19% raise for junior enlisted members and a 4.5% raise for other servicemembers.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer indicated that there will be huge Democrat opposition to the House’s anti-left-wing version of the NDAA.

“The NDAA coming out of the House is loaded with anti-LGBTQ, anti-choice, anti-environment, and other divisive amendments guaranteed not to pass the Senate,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a post to X. “We will have to work together to pass bipartisan legislation that honors and respects all who serve in defense of our nation.”
