To amend an Act to create a board of commissioners of roads and revenues for the county of Monroe, approved August 19, 1907 (Ga. L. 1907, p. 318), as amended, so as to change the description of the districts from which members of the commission are elected; to provide for definitions and inclusions; to provide for the continuation in office of current members; to provide for the submission of this Act for preclearance pursuant to Section 5 of the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended; to provide for related matters; to provide for effective dates; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

SECTION 1.
An Act to create a board of commissioners of roads and revenues for the county of Monroe, approved August 19, 1907 (Ga. L. 1907, p. 318), as amended, is amended by revising subsections (a), (b), and (d) of Section 1 as follows:
"(a) There is created the Board of Commissioners of Monroe County which shall conduct and administer the county affairs of Monroe County. The board shall be composed of five members. For the purpose of electing members of the board, Monroe 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 Name: monroecc-2012 Plan Type: local Administrator: monroe cc User: SE'.
(b) For the purposes of such plan:
(1) 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
(2) 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.
(3) Any part of Monroe County which is not included in any district described in subsection (a) 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.
(4) Any part of Monroe which is described in subsection (a) 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."
"(d) Commissioner Districts 1, 2, 3, and 4 as they exist on December 31, 2012, 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 January 1, 2013, such members of the board serving on such date shall be deemed to be serving from and representing their respective districts as newly described under this section."

SECTION 2.
The Board of Commissioners of Monroe 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 3.
This section and Section 2 of this Act and those provisions of this Act necessary for the election of members of the Board of Commissioners of Monroe County in 2012 shall become effective upon the approval of this Act by the Governor or upon its becoming law without such approval. The remaining provisions of this Act shall become effective January 1, 2013.

SECTION 4.
All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
