Export Dispute Resolution Act

This bill revises the interagency dispute resolution process for export license applications. In particular, the bill requires the Operating Committee for Export Policy (an interagency body within the Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security) to resolve disputes related to specified matters by majority vote, including matters relating to countries that are subject to comprehensive U.S. arms embargoes.

The bill also authorizes the committee chair to decide cases and matters that cannot be decided by majority vote.
