U.S. Senators Ron Wyden, Rand Paul, and Cynthia Lummis 'today introduced a bipartisan bill to end the Selective Service.'
GovInfo lists S. 4537 with 'Last Action Date Listed: May 14, 2026' and states: 'Mr. Wyden (for himself, Mr. Paul, and Ms. Lummis) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Armed Services.'
Assessments
The promise was to introduce and support legislation abolishing the Selective Service System, not to complete enactment. Official Senate and GovInfo records show Ron Wyden personally introduced S. 4537 on May 14, 2026, to repeal the Military Selective Service Act, and publicly backed it with bipartisan cosponsors. That satisfies the promised action within his current Senate term, even though the bill had not advanced beyond committee referral in the cited record.
Contemporaneous records show Senator Wyden (with Sens. Paul and Lummis) introduced S.4537 on May 14, 2026 to repeal the Military Selective Service Act (Wyden press release; GovInfo entry showing introduction and referral to the Senate Armed Services Committee). That action matches the promise to introduce and support legislation to abolish the Selective Service System. (The bill had been referred to committee and had not become law as of the last listed action, but the promise was to introduce/support such legislation, which Wyden did.)
