SECTION 1.

An Act providing for the Board of Education of Pulaski County and consolidating and restating the laws relative thereto, approved April 4, 1991 (Ga. L. 1991, p. 4175), as amended, particularly by an Act approved April 23, 2002 (Ga. L. 2002, p. 4102), is amended by revising Section 1 as follows:

"SECTION 1.

(a) The Board of Education of Pulaski County shall consist of seven members, all of whom shall be elected from education districts described in subsection (b) of this section.

(b) For purposes of electing members of the board of education, the Pulaski County School District is divided into seven education districts. One member of the board shall be elected from each such district. The seven education districts shall be and correspond to those seven numbered districts described in and attached to and made a part of this Act and further identified as 'Plan: pulaskisb-2012 Plan Type: Local Administrator: Pulaski SB User: Gina'.

(c)(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 Pulaski 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 Pulaski 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.

(d) Each member of the board of education shall be a resident of the respective education district during the member's term of office. Each person offering for election as a member of said board shall specify the education district for which the person is offering. Each member of the board shall be elected by a majority vote of the qualified voters voting within each respective district. All members of the board shall be elected in nonpartisan elections without prior nonpartisan primaries as provided for in this Act, and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of the general election laws of this state."

SECTION 2.

The Board of Education of Pulaski 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 Pulaski 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 shall be the duty of the Board of Education of Pulaski 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 4.

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 Education of Pulaski 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.
