BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

SECTION 1.
An Act creating the Board of Commissioners of Crisp County, approved August 8, 1908 (Ga. L. 1908, p. 295), as amended, particularly by an Act approved April 23, 2002 (Ga. L. 2002, p. 4091), is amended by revising Section 1 as follows:

"SECTION 1.
(a) For purposes of electing members of the Board of Commissioners of Crisp County, Crisp County is divided into two commissioner districts. The two commissioner districts shall be and correspond to those two numbered districts described in and attached to and made a part of this Act and further identified as 'Plan: crispcc-2012 Plan Type: local Administrator: crisp User: bak'. Each of the two commissioner districts is divided into posts. Commissioner District 1 shall be divided into two posts, designated as Commissioner District 1 - Post 1 and Commissioner District 1 - Post 2. Commissioner District 2 shall be divided into three posts, designated as Commissioner District 2 - Post 1, Commissioner District 2 - Post 2, and Commissioner District 2 - Post 3. Such posts shall be and correspond to those five numbered posts described in and attached to and made a part of this Act and further identified as 'Plan: crispcc-2012 Plan Type: local Administrator: crisp User: bak'. Commissioner District 1 - Post 1 is identified in such attachment as District 1-1, Commissioner District 1 - Post 2 is identified in such attachment as District 1-2, Commissioner District 2 - Post 1 is identified in such attachment as District 2-1, Commissioner District 2 - Post 2 is identified in such attachment as District 2-2, and Commissioner District 2 - Post 3 is identified in such attachment as District 2-3.
(b) When used in such attachments, 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. Any part of Crisp County which is not included in any such district or post described in that attachment shall be included within that district or post contiguous to such part which contains the least population according to the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia. Any part of Crisp County which is described in that attachment as being in a particular district or post shall nevertheless not be included within such district or post if such part is not contiguous to such district or post. Such noncontiguous part shall instead be included within that district or post contiguous to such part which contains the least population according to the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia. Except as otherwise provided in the description of any commissioner district or post, 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.
(c) Those members of the Board of Commissioners of Crisp County who are serving as such on December 31, 2012, 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. On and after January 1, 2013, the Board of Commissioners of Crisp County shall consist of five members all of whom shall be elected from commissioner districts and posts described in subsection (a) of this section. Commissioner District 1 - Post 1, Commissioner District 1 - Post 2, Commissioner District 2 - Post 1, Commissioner District 2 - Post 2, and Commissioner District 2 - Post 3 as they exist on December 31, 2012, shall continue to be designated as Commissioner District 1 - Post 1, Commissioner District 1 - Post 2, Commissioner District 2 - Post 1, Commissioner District 2 - Post 2, and Commissioner District 2 - Post 3, respectively, but as newly described under this Act, and on and after January 1, 2013, such members of the board serving from those former commissioner districts and posts shall be deemed to be serving from and representing their respective districts and posts as newly described under this Act."

SECTION 2.
The Board of Commissioners of Crisp County shall through its legal counsel cause this Act to be submitted for preclearance under Section 5 of 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 Crisp 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.
