To amend an Act creating the Board of Commissioners of Burke County, approved August 21, 1911 (Ga. L. 1911, p. 390), as amended, particularly by an Act approved April 18, 2002 (Ga. L. 2002, p. 3986), so as to change the description of the commissioner districts; to define certain terms; to provide for submission of this Act for preclearance 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 Burke County, approved August 21, 1911 (Ga. L. 1911, p. 390), as amended, particularly by an Act approved April 18, 2002 (Ga. L. 2002, p. 3986), is amended by revising subsections (b) and (c) of Section 1 and adding new subsections as follows:

"(b) For purposes of electing members of the board of commissioners, Burke County is divided into five commissioner districts. One member of the board shall be elected from each such district. 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: burkeccsb-2012 Plan Type: local Administrator: burke User: bak'.

(c) For the purposes of such plan:

(1) 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

(2) 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.

(d) Any part of Burke County which is not included in any district described in subsection (b) 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.

(e) Any part of Burke County which is described in subsection (b) 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.

The Board of Commissioners of Burke County shall through its legal counsel cause this Act to be submitted for preclearance under 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 3.

This section and Section 2 of this Act and those provisions of this Act necessary for the election of members of the Board of Commissioners of Burke County in 2012 shall become effective upon the approval of this Act by the Governor or upon its becoming law without such approval. The remaining provisions of this Act shall become effective January 1, 2013.

SECTION 4.

All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
