AN ACT

To amend an Act creating the board of commissioners for Charlton County, approved August 4, 1927 (Ga. L. 1927, p. 529), as amended, so as to change provisions relating to the number of meetings to be held by the board; to provide for an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

SECTION 1.

An Act creating the board of commissioners for Charlton County, approved August 4, 1927 (Ga. L. 1927, p. 529), as amended, is amended by revising Section 7 to read as follows:

"Section 7. Be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, that said Board of Commissioners shall hold a regular meeting in each month. At the first meeting each year, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the Board of Commissioners shall organize by setting the date and time for the regular monthly meetings to be held that year and by electing one of the members as chairperson and one as vice-chairperson. Any chairperson or vice-chairperson shall hold his or her office until his or her successor is elected, and nothing herein shall prevent the re-election of any chairperson or vice-chairperson. The vice-chairperson shall, in the absence or disqualification of the chairperson or during the vacancy in office of chairperson, perform and discharge all of the duties of the chairperson, and in the event of a vacancy in the office of chairperson or vice-chairperson, the same shall be filled by the board at its next regular meeting after such vacancy becomes known. The chairperson shall be the chief executive of the board. He or she shall see that all orders, resolutions, and rules of said board are faithfully filled and impartially executed and enforced, and that all the officers, employees, and agents of said board faithfully and impartially discharge the duties required of them. He or she shall have the general supervision of the affairs of the county, acting under orders of the board, and shall preside at all meetings of the board. The chairperson shall have the power to convene the board in extra session upon his or her own motion or upon the written request of the other four members of the board, and shall do so whenever the other four members make such request in writing."

SECTION 2.

This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without such approval.

SECTION 3.

All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
