Louisiana teens getting driver's license also register
for selective service!

I had no idea this was passed!
What other states in the South have this on the books?

<snip>
During the recently concluded presidential campaigns, the major candidates repeatedly said they had no plans to resume compulsory military service.

Their promises were not reassuring, however, to Larry Chevalier of Glenmora who was alarmed when his 16-year-old son Nathan had to register with the Selective Service System in order to get a driver's license.

<snip>

After questioning the early registration, Chevalier researched the issue and learned the Legislature passed Act 373 in the 2003 session dictating that all males aged 15 up to 18 seeking a first-time driver's license or an OMV identification card must register with Selective Service.

1. I believe that's the case here in Texas, too.
Seems to me I recall my son having to register when he got his license at 16.
