A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT


To amend an Act creating a Board of Commissioners of Terrell County, approved February 28, 1966 (Ga. L. 1966, p. 2610), as amended, particularly by an Act approved April 8, 2002 (Ga. L. 2002, p. 3782), so as to change the description of the commissioner districts; to define certain terms and provide for certain inclusions; to provide for continuation in office of current members; to provide for the submission of this Act for preclearance under 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 creating a Board of Commissioners of Terrell County, approved February 28, 1966 (Ga. L. 1966, p. 2610), as amended, particularly by an Act approved April 8, 2002 (Ga. L. 2002, p. 3782), is amended by striking subsections (a) and (b) of Section 1 and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
"(a) There is created a board of commissioners of roads and revenues for Terrell County, to be composed of a chairperson and four commissioners. For the purpose of electing the board of commissioners, Terrell County is divided into four commissioner districts. The four commissioner districts shall be and correspond to those four numbered districts described in and attached to and made a part of this Act and further identified as 'Plan: terrellcc-2012 Plan Type: local Administrator: terrell User: bak.'
(b)(1) For the purposes of such plan:
(A) 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
(B) 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.
(2) Any part of Terrell County 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.
(3) Any part of Terrell County 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.
It is the purpose of this Act to reapportion the districts from which members of the Board of Commissioners of Terrell 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 3.
The Board of Commissioners of Terrell 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.
The provisions of this Act relating to and necessary for the regular election in 2012 of members of the Board of Commissioners of Terrell 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 5.
All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
