A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT


To amend an Act to reconstitute the Board of Education of Candler County, approved January 15, 1993 (Ga. L. 1993, p. 3529), as amended, particularly by an Act approved April 25, 2002 (Ga. L. 2002, p. 4145), so as to revise the districts for the election of members of the board of education; to provide for definitions and inclusions; to provide for qualifications and manner of election; to provide for submission of this Act for preclearance pursuant to Section 5 of the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended; to provide for related matters; 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 to reconstitute the Board of Education of Candler County, approved January 15, 1993 (Ga. L. 1993, p. 3529), as amended, particularly by an Act approved April 25, 2002 (Ga. L. 2002, p. 4145), is amended by striking Section 2 and inserting in lieu thereof a new Section 2 to read as follows:

"SECTION 2.
(a) For the purpose of electing the members of the board of education, the Candler County School District is divided into five education districts. One member of the board shall be elected from each district. The five 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 Name: candlersb-2012 Plan Type: Local Administrator: Candler User: bak.
(b)(1) When used in such attachment, the term 'VTD' (voting tabulation district) 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.
(2) 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. Any part of the Candler County School District which is not included in any such district described in that attachment 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.
(3) Any part of the Candler County School District which is described in that attachment as being 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.
(4) Except as otherwise provided in the description of any education district, whenever the description of such district refers to a named city, it shall mean the geographical boundaries of that city as shown on the census map for the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia."

SECTION 2.
The Board of Education of Candler County which existed on December 31, 2012, is continued in existence but on and after January 1, 2013, shall be constituted as provided in this Act. The Board of Education of Candler 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.

SECTION 3.
It is the purpose of this Act to reapportion the districts from which members of the Board of Education of Candler County are to be elected in the November, 2012, general election and in subsequent general elections, and this Act results from changes in population based on the United States decennial census of 2010. It is not the intention of the General Assembly to affect the membership of current members of the board, their terms of office, or the manner in which their successors shall be elected, and such matters shall remain as provided by law on the effective date of this Act until otherwise amended by law, except to the extent of reapportioning the districts represented by such members.

SECTION 4.
It shall be the duty of the Board of Education of Candler County to require the attorney therefor to submit this Act for approval pursuant to Section 5 of the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended.

SECTION 5.
The provisions of this section and Section 1 of this Act relating to and necessary for the regular election in 2012 of members of the Board of Commissioners of Candler County shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming effective without such approval; and this Act shall otherwise become effective January 1, 2013.

SECTION 6.
All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
