L. 2002, p. 4018), so as to revise the districts for the election of members of the board of commissioners; to provide for definitions and inclusions; to provide for submission of this Act for preclearance pursuant to Section 5 of the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended; to provide for related matters; to provide 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 Clayton County board of commissioners, approved February 8, 1955 (Ga. L. 1955, p. 2064), as amended, particularly by an Act approved April 18, 2002 (Ga. L. 2002, p. 4018), is amended by revising subsection (b) of Section 2 to read as follows:

"(b)(1) For the purpose of electing commissioners, Clayton County is divided into four commissioner districts which 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 Name: claytoncc-2012 Plan Type: local Administrator: clayton 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 Clayton 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 Clayton 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 commission 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, and 4 as they existed on January 1, 2012, shall continue to be designated as Commissioner Districts 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively, but as newly described under this subsection, and, on and after the effective date of this subsection, 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 subsection."

SECTION 2.

The Board of Commissioners of Clayton County shall through its legal counsel cause this Act to be submitted for preclearance under the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended; and such submission shall be made to the United States Department of Justice or filed with the appropriate court 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 Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without such approval.

SECTION 4.

All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
