AN ACT

To amend an Act creating the board of commissioners of Appling County, approved February 12, 1945 (Ga. L. 1945, p. 650), as amended, so as to change the description of the commissioner districts; to define certain terms; to provide for submission of this Act for preclearance under the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended; to provide for conditional automatic repeal; 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 creating the board of commissioners of Appling County, approved February 12, 1945 (Ga. L. 1945, p. 650), as amended, is amended by revising Section 8 as follows:

"SECTION 8.

(a) The board of commissioners of Appling County shall consist of a chairman elected from the county at large and five commissioners elected from commissioner districts. For purposes of electing members of the board of commissioners, Appling County is divided into five commissioner districts. The five commissioner 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.

(d) 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.

(e) 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 Commissioners 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.
