SECTION
1.
An
Act changing the composition and method of election of the Board of Education of
Appling County approved February 2, 1988 (Ga. L. 1988, p. 3529), as amended,
particularly by an Act approved March 4, 1994 (Ga. L. 1994, p. 3601), is amended
by revising subsections (b) and (c) of Section 2 and adding new subsections as
follows:
"(b)
For purposes of electing members of the board of education, Appling County is
divided into five education districts. One member of the board shall be elected
from each such district. Each member of the board must be a resident of the
education district he or she represents; and if any member removes his or her
residence from such education district, then his or her office shall be vacated.
The five education districts 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: applingccsb-2012 Plan Type: Local Administrator: Appling
User: bak'.
(c)
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.
(c.1)
Any part of Appling 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.
(c.2)
Any part of Appling 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.
The
Board of Education of Appling County shall through its legal counsel cause this
Act to be submitted for preclearance under 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.
If,
as of the first date upon which candidates may begin qualifying for the general
primary in 2012, implementation of this Act is not permissible under the federal
Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended, then as of such date this Act shall be
void and stand repealed in its entirety.
SECTION
4.
For
the purpose of conducting elections in 2012, this Act shall become effective
upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without such
approval. For all other purposes, this Act shall become effective on January 1,
2013.
SECTION
5.
All
laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
