Senate Could Send 1099 Repeal to President Obama Soon
Senate Democrats today could vote on an amendment to a small-business bill (S 493) that would repeal the 1099 tax-reporting provision in the federal health reform law and then use a procedural maneuver to consider an identical House measure (HR 4) as approved, National Journal reports (McCarthy, National Journal, 3/29). If the Senate clears the amendment, it could use a “deem and pass” procedure to consider HR 4 as passed. Lawmakers could then send HR 4 directly to President Obama. However, It is unclear whether Obama would sign HR 4. Although he supports repealing the 1099 provision, a Statement of Administration Policy released earlier this month criticized the bill’s offsets (National Journal, 3/29).
