IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
SECTION
1.
An
Act creating and establishing a board of commissioners of Worth County, approved
August 15, 1904 (Ga. L. 1904, p. 842), as amended, particularly by an Act
approved April 25, 2002 (Ga. L. 2002, p. 4861), is amended by striking
subsections (a) and (b) of Section 2 and inserting in lieu thereof the
following:
"(a)
For purposes of electing the chairperson and members of the board of
commissioners of Worth County, there shall be five commissioner districts to be
designated Commissioner Districts 1 through 5, and one commissioner shall be
elected from each district. Commissioner District 5 shall consist of the
entirety of Worth County. For the purpose of electing the four remaining
commissioners, Worth County shall be divided into four commissioner districts
which shall be and correspond to those four numbered districts described in and
attached to and made a part of this Act and further identified as 'Plan:
worthccsb-2012 Plan Type: Local Administrator: Worth User: bak'.
(b)
When used in such attachment, the terms 'VTD' shall mean and describe the same
geographical boundaries as provided in the report of the Bureau of the Census
for the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia. The
separate numeric designations in a district description which are underneath a
'VTD' heading shall mean and describe individual Blocks within a VTD as provided
in the report of the Bureau of the Census for the United States decennial census
of 2010 for the State of Georgia. Any part of Worth County which is not
included in any such district described in that attachment shall be included
within that district contiguous to such part which contains the least population
according to the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of
Georgia. Any part of Worth County which is described in that attachment as
being in a particular district shall nevertheless not be included within such
district if such part is not contiguous to such district. Such noncontiguous
part shall instead be included within that district contiguous to such part
which contains the least population according to the United States decennial
census of 2010 for the State of Georgia. Except as otherwise provided in the
description of any commissioner district, whenever the description of such
district refers to a named city, it shall mean the geographical boundaries of
that city as shown on the census map for the United States decennial census of
2010 for the State of Georgia."
SECTION
2.
It
is the purpose of this Act to reapportion the districts from which members of
the board of commissioners of Worth County are to be elected in the November,
2012, general election and in subsequent general elections, and this Act results
from changes in population based on the United States decennial census of 2010.
It is not the intention of the General Assembly to affect the membership of
current members of the board, their terms of office, or the manner in which
their successors shall be elected, and such matters shall remain as provided by
law on the effective date of this Act until otherwise amended by law, except to
the extent of reapportioning the districts represented by such
members.
SECTION
3.
The
board of commissioners of Worth County shall through its legal counsel cause
this Act to be submitted for preclearance under the federal Voting Rights Act of
1965, as amended; and such submission shall be made to the United States
Department of Justice or filed with the appropriate court no later than 45 days
after the date on which this Act is approved by the Governor or otherwise
becomes law without such approval.
SECTION
4.
The
provisions of this Act relating to and necessary for the regular election in
2012 of members of the board of commissioners of Worth County shall become
effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming effective
without such approval; and this Act shall otherwise become effective January 1,
2013.
SECTION
5.
All
laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
