AN ACT

To amend an Act providing for the election of the chairperson and the members of the Board of Education of Jefferson County, approved March 20, 1990 (Ga. L. 1990, p. 4224), as amended, so as to change the description of the education districts; to provide for definitions and inclusions; to provide for continuation in office of current members; to provide for submission of this Act for preclearance under 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 providing for the election of the chairperson and the members of the Board of Education of Jefferson County, approved March 20, 1990 (Ga. L. 1990, p. 4224), as amended, is amended by revising Section 1 as follows:

"SECTION 1.

(a)(1) For the purpose of electing the members of the Board of Education of Jefferson County, other than the chairperson, the Jefferson County School District shall be divided into four education 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: jeffersonccsb-2012 Plan Type: Local Administrator: Jefferson User bak'.

(2) Those members and chairperson of the Board of Education of Jefferson County who are serving as such immediately prior to the effective date of this subsection, 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. On and after the effective date of this subsection, the Board of Education of Jefferson County shall consist of four members elected from the education districts described in this subsection and one chairperson who shall be elected at large.

(3) Education Districts 1 through 4, as they exist immediately prior to the effective date of this subsection, shall continue to be designated as Education Districts 1 through 4, respectively, but as newly described under this subsection, and on and after the effective date of this subsection, such members of the board serving from those former education districts shall be deemed to be serving from and representing their respective districts as newly described under this subsection.

(b)(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 Jefferson 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.

(3) Any part of Jefferson County 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."

SECTION 2.

The Board of Education of Jefferson 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 30 days after the date on which this Act is approved by the Governor or otherwise becomes law without such approval.

SECTION 3.

Section 2, this section, and the provisions of this Act relating to and necessary for the regular election in 2012 of members of the Board of Education of Jefferson County 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.
