Summary
Export-Import Bank Reauthorization Act of 2006 - Amends the Export-Import Bank Act of 1945 to extend through FY2011: (1) the general authority for the Export-Import Bank of the United States; (2) the termination date of the Sub-Saharan Africa Advisory Committee; (3) the authority for Bank financing for the export of nonlethal articles or services meant primarily for civilian purposes; and (4) the aggregate loan, guarantee, and insurance authority of the Bank. Establishes a Small Business Division and a Small Business Committee in the Bank to improve financial services to and increase exports by small business concerns. Requires the Bank to adopt revised policies and procedures to prevent circumvention of trade laws by loan applicants, improve the process for considering the economic effects of proposed loans or guarantees, and process individual applications involving the use or potential use of the Tied Aid Credit Fund. Prohibits the Bank from assisting the financing of certain foreign railway connections.
