A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT

To amend an Act providing for the composition of the Board of Education of Coweta County, approved March 5, 1984 (Ga. L. 1984, p. 3701), as amended, particularly by an Act approved April 8, 2002 (Ga. L. 2002, p. 3801), so as to change the description of the education districts; 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 approval under the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended; to provide 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 composition of the Board of Education of Coweta County, approved March 5, 1984 (Ga. L. 1984, p. 3701), as amended, particularly by an Act approved April 8, 2002 (Ga. L. 2002, p. 3801), is amended by revising subsections (b) and (c) as follows:

"(b) For the purpose of electing members of Board of Education of Coweta County, the Coweta County School District is divided into five districts. Such 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: cowetasb-2012 Plan Type: Local Administrator: Coweta User: bak'. Education Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 shall continue to be designated as Education Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively, but as newly described under this Act, and 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.

(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;

(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 the Coweta County School District 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; and

(4) Any part of the Coweta County School District 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 Coweta 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 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 Education of Coweta 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.
