AN ACT

To amend an Act establishing a Board of Commissioners of Talbot County, approved February 16, 1876 (Ga. L. 1876, p. 291), as amended, particularly by an Act approved June 4, 2003 (Ga. L. 2003, p. 4692), so as to change the description of the commissioner districts; to provide for definitions and inclusions; to provide for related matters; to provide for submission of this Act for preclearance pursuant to Section 5 of the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

SECTION 1.

An Act establishing a Board of Commissioners of Talbot County, approved February 16, 1876 (Ga. L. 1876, p. 291), as amended, particularly by an Act approved June 4, 2003 (Ga. L. 2003, p. 4692), is amended by revising paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) of subsection (b) of Section 1 as follows:

"(b)(1) For the purpose of electing members to the Talbot County Board of Commissioners, Talbot County is divided into five commissioner districts which shall be and correspond to those five numbered districts described in and attached to and made a part of this Act and further identified as 'Plan: talbotccsbr1-2012 Plan Type: Local Administrator: Talbot User: SE'.

(2)(A) For the purposes of such plan:

(i) 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

(ii) 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.

(B) Any part of Talbot County which is not included in any district described in paragraph (1) of this subsection 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.

(C) Any part of Talbot County which is described in paragraph (1) of this subsection 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.

(3) The present members of the board of commissioners shall serve for the terms of office for which they were elected and until their successors are elected and qualified. Commissioner Districts 1 through 5, as they exist immediately prior to the effective date of this subsection, shall continue to be designated as Commissioner Districts 1 through 5, respectively, but as newly described under this Act; and, on and after the effective date of this subsection, 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 2.

The governing authority of Talbot 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, 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 3.

All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
