Bill to Repeal Obamacare Reporting Requirements Passed by Senate

Dacula’s representative in Congress, Rep. Rob Woodall (R-GA), announced Tuesday that H.R. 4, a piece of Pledge to America legislation designed to repeal certain tax reporting provisions in President Obama’s health care reform package, has been sent to the President for signature.

“The 1099 reporting requirements in ObamaCare do more than just place an undue burden on American taxpayers: it disincentivizes private sector growth in a time when our nation needs it the most,” Woodall said in a released statement.  “I am proud to see that the folks on the other side of the Capitol Building agree with the House’s stance on this pressing issue. A recent National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) Small Business Survey determined that tax paperwork, costing $74 an hour, is the most expensive burden placed on small businesses by the federal government.  I will continue to work with my colleagues in the House to peel back the layers of ObamaCare, and start simplifying the lives of American citizens and businesses.”

Woodall’s Seventh District includes all of Barrow and Walton counties, most of Gwinnett County, and portions of Forsyth and Newton counties.
