S. 3578 - Small Business Paperwork Mandate Elimination Act Repeals section 9006 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) that requires any business that purchases more than $600 of goods or services from another business to submit a 1099 form to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). NSBA supported. S. 4757 Health Insurance Rate Authority Act of 2010 To provide for the establishment of a Health Insurance Rate Authority to establish limits on premium rating, and for other purposes. NSBA is monitoring this legislation. Issue: Comprehensive Immigration Reform A general outline for comprehensive immigration reform was been discussed in the Senate. NSBA has advocated for provisions that would protect small businesses against overly burdensome regulations resulting from mandates on small businesses. NSBA continues to monitor developments and advocate with staff the potential for unintended consequences resulting from immigration legislation to small businesses. Agency Comments on Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act Jointly filed comments were sent to Department of Health and Human Resources Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, Department of Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, Department of Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. Substantial health plan design changes (e.g., no annual/lifetime limits, bans on cost-sharing of preventative services) have September 2010 effective dates. NSBA requested at least six months to comply with regulations once they are implemented, and a good-faith standard for measuring compliance.
