An

particularly by an Act approved April 15, 1996 (Ga. L. 1996,
p. 4466), is amended by revising subsections (b) and (c) of Section 1 as
follows:
"(b)
For the purpose of electing members of the board of commissioners, Franklin
County is divided into four commissioner districts. Such districts 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: franklincc-2012 Plan
Type: Local Administrator: Franklin User: bak'.
(c)(1)
For the purposes of such plan:
(A)
The term '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; and
(B)
Except as otherwise provided in the description of any district, whenever the
description of any district refers to a named city, it shall mean the
geographical boundaries of that city as shown on the census maps for the United
States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia.
(2)
Any part of Franklin County which is not included in any district described in
subsection (b) of this section 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.
(3)
Any part of Franklin County which is described in subsection (b) of this section
as being included 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."
SECTION
2.
(a)
Those members of the Board of Commissioners of Franklin County who are serving
as such on the effective date of this Act and any person selected to fill a
vacancy in any such office shall continue to serve as such members until the
regular expiration of their respective terms of office and upon the election and
qualification of their respective
successors.
(b) Commissioner Districts 1, 2, 3, and 4, as they exist immediately prior to the effective date of this Act, shall continue to be designated as Commissioner Districts 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively, but as newly described under this Act, and on and after the effective date of this Act, such members of the board serving from those former commissioner districts shall be deemed to be serving from and representing their respective districts as newly described under this Act.
(b) Commissioner Districts 1, 2, 3, and 4, as they exist immediately prior to the effective date of this Act, shall continue to be designated as Commissioner Districts 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively, but as newly described under this Act, and on and after the effective date of this Act, such members of the board serving from those former commissioner districts shall be deemed to be serving from and representing their respective districts as newly described under this Act.
SECTION
3.
The
Board of Commissioners of Franklin County shall through its legal counsel cause
this Act to be submitted for preclearance under Section 5 of the federal Voting
Rights Act of 1965, as amended, not 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.
All
laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
