Selective Service Standby Act of 1995 - Amends the Military Selective Service Act to prohibit: (1) requiring a person to submit to registration under the Selective Service System (SSS) unless a declaration of national emergency is in effect; (2) the President from appointing a person as a member of a civilian local board, civilian appeal board, or similar local agency of the SSS, except during a national emergency; and (3) any such board from meeting.

Prohibits any person from being denied any right, privilege, benefit, or employment position under Federal law by reason of failure to so register after the effective date of this Act.
