AN ACT


To amend an Act shortening the terms of office and providing for the election of members of the Board of Education of Whitfield County, approved April 4, 1991 (Ga. L. 1991, p. 3638), as amended, particularly by an Act approved April 25, 2002 (Ga. L. 2002, p. 4301), so as to change the description of the education districts; to provide for definitions and inclusions; to provide for continuation in office of current members; to provide for submission of this Act for approval under Section 5 of the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

SECTION 1.
An Act shortening the terms of office and providing for the election of members of the Board of Education of Whitfield County, approved April 4, 1991 (Ga. L. 1991, p. 3638), as amended, particularly by an Act approved April 25, 2002 (Ga. L. 2002, p. 4301), is amended by revising paragraph (2) of Section 1 as follows:
"(2)(A) 'Education districts' means the five education districts for the election of members of the board of education as described in this paragraph. Education Districts 1 through 4 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: whitfieldsbR-2012 Plan Type: Local Administrator: Whitfield SB User: SE'. Education District 5 shall be composed of the entire County of Whitfield with the exception of that portion of the county embraced by the city limits of Dalton.
(B)(1) For the purposes of such plan:
(i) 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
(ii) 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 the Whitfield County School District which is not included in any district described in subparagraph (A) of this paragraph 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 Whitfield County School District which is described in subparagraph (A) of this paragraph 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.
(a) Those members of the Board of Education of Whitfield County who are serving as such on the effective date of this Act 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.
(b) Education Districts 1, 2, 3, and 4, as they exist immediately prior to the effective date of this Act, shall continue to be designated as Education Districts 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively, but as newly described under this Act, and on and after the effective date of this Act, such members of the board serving from those former education districts shall be deemed to be serving from and representing their respective districts as newly described under this Act.

SECTION 3.
The Board of Education of Whitfield County shall through its legal counsel cause this Act to be submitted for preclearance under the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended, not 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.
All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
