Unless they did assign this bill

From Wikipedia:

Bill S.978 or the Commercial Felony Streaming Act is a bill which is currently pending introduction to the Senate floor. It was proposed by Amy Klobuchar, Chris Coons, and John Cornyn on May 12. It would make unauthorized streaming of copyrighted material a felony. The penalty could include up to five years of prison-time. It defines illegal streaming as streaming ten or more times in a 180 day period. Furthermore, the value of the illegally streamed material would have to be greater than $2,500, or the licensing fees would have to be over $5,000. There is some concern as to whether the bill would affect those streaming video games, and posting videos on YouTube. However, the bill does not directly address this. Although it is unknown whether the law would be enforced as such, there has been an outcry with several negative reactions against the bill on YouTube, and other such video streaming sites, as well as other websites in general
