A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT

To amend an Act creating the Board of Commissioners of Emanuel County, approved July 18, 1919 (Ga. L. 1919, p. 646), as amended, particularly by an Act approved May 13, 2002 (Ga. L. 2002, p. 5796), so as to change the description of the commissioner districts; to provide for definitions and inclusions; to provide for continuation in office of current members; to provide for election and terms of office of subsequent members; to provide for submission of this Act for approval under the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended; to provide for effective dates; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

SECTION 1.

An Act creating the Board of Commissioners of Emanuel County, approved July 18, 1919 (Ga. L. 1919, p. 646), as amended, is amended by revising subsection (b) of Section 1 as follows:

"(b) Those members of the Board of Commissioners of Emanuel County who are serving as such on July 1, 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."

SECTION 2.

Said Act is further amended by revising subsection (d) of Section 1 as follows:

"(d)(1) For purposes of electing members of the board of commissioners, Emanuel County is divided into five single-member commissioner districts. The five commissioner 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: emanuelcc-2012 Plan Type: Local Administrator: Emanuel cc User: bak'.

(2) 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.

(3) 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 Emanuel County 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.

(4) Any part of Emanuel County 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.

(5) 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.

(6) Commissioner Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, as they exist immediately prior to December 31, 2012, shall continue to be designated as Commissioner Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively, but as newly described under this Act, and on and after January 1, 2013, 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 Act."

SECTION 3.

It shall be the duty of the authority of Emanuel 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 Commissioners of Emanuel 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.
