AI Summary

This bill amends the Federal Power Act to require the Department of Commerce or the Department of the Interior to consider the threat of invasive species before mandating that a new fishway (a structure that allows fish to migrate) be built. Fishways are constructed around barriers, such as dams, to enable fish to travel upstream and downstream. This bill aims to ensure that the potential impact of invasive species is taken into account when prescribing the installation of these fishways.
