SECTION 1.

An Act providing for reapportionment or redistricting of the districts from and by which members of the board of education of Johnson County are elected, approved March 1, 2004 (Ga.

"SECTION 3.

(a) Those members of the Board of Education of Johnson 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 Education of Johnson County shall consist of five members elected from commissioner districts described in subsection (b) of this section.

(b) For the purpose of electing members of the Board of Education of Johnson County, the Johnson 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: johnsonccsb-2012 Plan Type: Local Administrator: Johnson 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.

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.
