SECTION 1.
An Act creating the Board of Commissioners of Troup County, approved March 25, 1958 (Ga. L. 1958, p. 3068), as amended, particularly by an Act approved February 27, 1992 (Ga. L. 1992, p. 4796), is amended by revising subsections (a), (b), and (c) of Section 2 as follows:
"(a)(1) The Board of Commissioners of Troup County which existed on December 31, 2012, is continued in existence but on and after the effective date of this Act shall be constituted as provided in this Act. The Board of Commissioners of Troup County so continued and constituted, sometimes referred to in this Act as the 'board,' shall continue to have the powers, duties, rights, obligations, and liabilities of that board as existed immediately prior to January 1, 2013.
(2) Those members of the Board of Commissioners of Troup County who are serving as such on December 31, 2012, 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 terms of office and upon the election and qualification of their respective successors. On and after the effective date of this Act, the Board of Commissioners of Troup County shall consist of five members, all of whom shall be elected from commissioner districts described in subsection (b) of this section.
(b) For purposes of electing members of the board of commissioners, Troup County is divided into five commissioner districts. One member of the board shall be elected from each such district. Commissioner District No. 1 shall consist of the entire County of Troup. Commissioner Districts No. 2 through 5 shall be and correspond to those numbered districts described in and attached to and made a part of this Act and further identified as Plan: troupcc-2012 Plan Type: local Administrator: troup cc 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;
(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 Troup 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; and
(4) Any part of Troup 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 Troup 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 Commissioners of Troup 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 on January 1, 2013.

SECTION 4.
All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
