Braley Applauds Senate Vote to Help Small Businesses

Press Release

Today, Congressman Bruce Braley (IA-01) applauded the U.S. Senate for voting to help small businesses by repealing the burdensome "1099" provision of the health care law. The provision was not included in the original House version of the health care law, but was later added by the Senate. The bill repealing the provision now goes to President Obama for his signature. After today's Senate vote, Rep. Braley released the following statement:

"Small business owners need to focus on running their businesses and creating jobs -- they don't need additional burdensome regulations. I've heard from business owners in my district in Iowa and they've told me that the 1099 provision increases the cost of doing business and puts an unfair burden on them. I'm glad that today, the Senate finally joined the House and took action to repeal this provision and help small businesses in my state and across the country."
