(CNSNews.com) - The Senate Armed Services Committee this week voted 23-3 to send the $777.9-billion National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2022 to the Senate floor.
Among the provisions, the bill Amends the Military Selective Service Act to require the registration of women for Selective Service, just as all men in the United States must register when they turn 18.
(House Republicans in 2016 rejected a measure requiring women to register.)
