BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

SECTION 1.
An Act amending, revising, superseding, and consolidating the laws pertaining to the Board of Commissioners of Carroll County, approved February 28, 1989 (Ga. L. 1989, p. 3546), as amended, particularly by an Act approved April 25, 2002 (Ga. L. 2002, p. 4570), is amended by revising Sections 2 and 3 as follows:

"SECTION 2.
The Board of Commissioners of Carroll County which existed on December 31, 2011, is continued in existence but on and after July 1, 2012, shall be constituted as provided in this Act. The Board of Commissioners of Carroll 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 July 1, 2012.

SECTION 3.
(a) Those members of the Board of Commissioners of Carroll County who are serving as such on June 30, 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 respective terms of office and upon the election and qualification of their respective successors. The Board of Commissioners of Carroll County shall consist of seven members, six of whom shall be elected from commissioner districts described in subsection (b) of this section and the member who is chairperson and who is elected at large as provided in Section 4 of this Act.
(b) For purposes of electing members of the board of commissioners, other than the chairperson, Carroll County is divided into six commissioner districts. One member of the board shall be elected from each such district. The six commissioner districts shall be and correspond to those six numbered districts described in and attached to and made a part of this Act and further identified as Plan Name: carrollcc-prop4-tiger2010 Plan Type: local Administrator: carroll 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 Carroll 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 Carroll 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.
Said Act is further amended by revising subsection (f) of Section 4 as follows:
"(f) Commissioner Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 as they exist on December 31, 2011, shall continue to be designated as Commissioner Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, respectively, but as newly described under this Act, and on and after July 1, 2012, such members of the board serving from those former commissioner districts shall be deemed to be serving from and representing their respective districts as newly described under this section."
SECTION 3.
The Board of Commissioners of Carroll 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 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 July 1, 2012.

SECTION 5.
All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
