                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 123

  Mr. SCHATZ. Mr. President, I understand there is a bill at the desk, 
and I ask for its first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bill by title for the 
first time.
  The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 123) to protect American small businesses, gig 
     workers, and freelancers by repealing the burdensome American 
     Rescue Plan Act of 2021 transactions reporting threshold, and 
     to rescind certain funding provided to the Internal Revenue 
     Service under section 10301 of Public Law 117-169.

  Mr. SCHATZ. I now ask for a second reading, and in order to place the 
bill on the calendar under the provisions of rule XIV, I object to my 
own request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator's objection is heard. The bill 
will be read for the second time on the next legislative day.
