CODE OF VIRGINIA

SELECTIVE SERVICE COMPLIANCE (§ 2.2-2804)

Any person who has failed to meet the federal requirement to register for the
Selective Service shall be ineligible for employment by or service for the
Commonwealth, or a political subdivision of the Commonwealth, including all
boards and commissions, departments, agencies, institutions, and
instrumentalities. A person shall not be denied employment under this section by
reason of failure to present himself for and submit to the federal registration
requirement if: (i) the requirement for the person to so register has terminated
or become inapplicable to the person and (ii) the person shows by a
preponderance of the evidence that the failure of the person to register was not
a knowing and willful failure to register.
