A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT

To amend an Act establishing a Board of Commissioners of Bibb County, approved February 6, 1873 (Ga. L. 1873, p. 219), as amended, so as to change the descriptions of the four commissioner districts; to define certain terms; to provide for continuation in office of current members; to provide for submission of this Act for approval under the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended; 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 establishing a Board of Commissioners of Bibb County, approved February 6, 1873 (Ga. L. 1873, p. 219), as amended, is amended by striking subsection (a) of Section 1 and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

"(a)(1) There is created the board of commissioners of Bibb County to be elected as provided in this section. For the purpose of electing members of the board, Bibb County is divided into four commissioner districts. The four commissioner districts shall be and correspond to those numbered districts described in and attached to and made a part of this Act and further identified as 'Plan: bibbccR-2012-s018-h137 Plan Type: Local Administrator: s018 User: Gina'.

(2) 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.

(3) Any part of Bibb County which is not included in any district described in paragraph (1) of 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.

(4) Any part of Bibb County which is described in paragraph (1) of 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.

The Board of Commissioners of Bibb County which exists 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 Bibb 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 it existed immediately prior to January 1, 2013.

SECTION 3.

The Board of Commissioners of Bibb 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, not later than 30 days after the date on which this Act is approved by the Governor or otherwise becomes law without such approval.

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 Bibb 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.
