Protecting American Streaming and Innovation Act

Summary

The bill directs the U.S. Trade Representative to start a Section 301 investigation into Canada’s Online Streaming Act, which forces U.S. streaming services to pay high contributions and meet discoverability rules that Canadian companies avoid. It requires reports to Congress and lets the USTR impose trade penalties if Canada does not fix the discriminatory measures. The goal is to protect U.S. digital‑media companies and keep trade rules fair.
