To amend an Act creating the board of commissioners of Brooks County, approved August 11, 1881 (Ga. L. 1880 - 1881, p. 518), as amended, particularly by an Act approved March 1, 1984 (Ga. L. 1984, p. 3680), so as to provide for new commissioner districts; to provide for definitions; to provide for inclusions; to provide for a continuation in office; to provide for submission of this Act to the United States Department of Justice for preclearance; 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 Brooks County, approved August 11, 1881 (Ga. L. 1880 - 1881, p. 518), as amended, particularly by an Act approved March 1, 1984 (Ga. L. 1984, p. 3680), is amended by revising subsection (g) as follows:
"(g)(1) For the purpose of electing members of the Brooks County Board of Commissioners, Brooks County is divided into five districts. Such 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: brooksccsb-2012 Plan Type: Local Administrator: Brooks 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 Brooks 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 Brooks 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."

SECTION 2.
The Board of Commissioners of Brooks 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 Commissioners of Brooks 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 governing authority of Brooks 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 Brooks 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.
