                            REPEAL 1099 RULE

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, one of the many egregious and 
punitive parts of ObamaCare is the burdensome 1099 rule, a paperwork 
regulation that forces millions of businesses to file a 1099 tax form 
each time they spend over $600 per vendor. The National Association for 
the Self-Employed reports that those companies with 10 or fewer 
employees, their paperwork burden is going to jump from an average of 
two per year to roughly 27 per year, a whopping 1,250 percent paperwork 
increase.
  Main Street mom-and-pop shops don't need the added costs of more 
regulatory requirements at a time when their efforts are rightly 
focused on just staying in business. It's jobs we are protecting. It's 
time to repeal the 1099 rule right now.
