SECTION 1.
An Act relating to the Board of Commissioners of Decatur County, approved March 4, 1935 (Ga. L. 1935, p. 630), as amended, particularly by an Act approved May 5, 2006 (Ga. L. 2006, p. 4639), is amended by revising Section 1 as follows:

"SECTION 1.
(a) There is established in Decatur County a board of commissioners which shall be the governing authority of said county. The board shall be composed of six members as provided in this Act. For the purpose of electing members of the board of commissioners, Decatur County is divided into six commissioner districts. One member of the board shall be elected from each such district. The six commissioner districts shall be and correspond to those six numbered districts described in and attached to and made a part of this Act and further identified as 'Plan: decaturccsb-2012 Plan Type: local Administrator: decatur 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 Decatur 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 Decatur 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.
(a) Those members of the Board of Commissioners of Decatur 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) Commissioner Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, as they exist immediately prior to the effective date of this Act, shall continue to be designated as Commissioner Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, 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 commissioner districts shall be deemed to be serving from and representing their respective districts as newly described under this Act.

SECTION 3.
The Board of Commissioners of Decatur 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.
