The provision, which goes into effect in 2012, would require businesses to submit a 1099 form for every purchase of more than $600. Many have argued this would create a burden of paperwork for businesses.
The first proposal by Sen. Mike Johanns (R-NE) would have repealed the 1099 mandate and offset the lost revenue with unspent or unobligated federal funds. The second proposal by Senate Finance Committee Chair Max Baucus (D-MT) did not include an offset, according to the report. Both proposals were included as amendments to food safety legislation.
