Draft Bill Seeks Optional Draft Standards and New Deferral Roles
The proposal would make certain draft standards advisory rather than mandatory and appoint the National Security Council to recommend which educational and occupational categories should be deferred. Presidential power would remain to defer graduate students. It would limit deferment to medical and dental students and create religious grounds for conscientious objector claims, challenging a recent Supreme Court ruling. Other deferments continue for Public Health Service physicians in service roles, Coast Guard, ESA, and Bureau of Prisons, while restricting deferments for FDA, OEO, and Agriculture staff. Appeals to courts over draft classifications would be barred, with courts urged to prioritize draft cases and prevent gender-based appointment discrimination. Kennedy warned the bill could discriminate against those lacking college access.
