SECTION
1.
An
Act creating a Board of Commissioners of Ben Hill County, approved
August 15, 1914 (Ga. L. 1914, p. 232), as amended, particularly by an Act
approved May 1, 2002 (Ga. L. 2002, p. 5165), is amended by
revising subsections (b) and (b.1) of Section 1 and adding a new subsection
to read as follows:
"(b)
For purposes of electing members of the board of commissioners, Ben Hill County
is divided into two commissioner districts designated as Commissioner District 2
and Commissioner District 3. Two members of the board shall be elected from
each such district. Within Commissioner Districts 2 and 3, there are
established Post 1 and Post 2 positions. One member shall be elected from
Commissioner District 1 which shall consist of the entirety of Ben Hill County.
Commissioner District 2 and Commissioner District 3 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: benhillcc-2012 Plan Type: Local
Administrator: Ben Hill User: Gina'.
(b.1)(1)
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.
(2)
Any part of Ben Hill County which is not included in Commissioner
District 2 or Commissioner District 3 as 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.
(3)
Any part of Ben Hill County which is not included in Commissioner
District 2 or Commissioner District 3 as 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.
(b.2)
On the effective date of this subsection, former Commissioner District 1 shall
be new Commissioner District 2 as described in subsection (b) of this section
and former Commissioner District 2 shall be new Commissioner District 1 which
shall include the entirety of Ben Hill County."
SECTION
2.
(a)
Those members of the Board of Commissioners of Ben Hill County who are serving
as such on the effective date of this Act 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. It is not the intention of the
General Assembly to affect any aspect of the service of any member currently
serving on the Board of Commissioners of Ben Hill except to redesignate the
numbering of the commissioner districts and to change the description of the
commissioner districts.
(b)
Commissioner Districts 1 and 3, as they exist immediately prior to the effective
date of this Act, shall be designated as Commissioner Districts 2 and 3,
respectively, and as newly described under this Act, and on and after the
effective date of this Act, such members of the board serving from those former
Commissioner Districts 1 and 3 shall be deemed to be serving from and
representing Commissioner Districts 2 and 3, respectively, as newly described
under this Act. Commissioner District 2, as it exists immediately prior to the
effective date of this Act, shall be designated as Commissioner District 1, and
on and after the effective date of this Act, the member of the board serving
from former Commissioner District 2 shall be deemed to be serving from and
representing Commissioner District 1 as described under this Act.
SECTION
3.
The
Board of Commissioners of Ben Hill County shall through its legal counsel cause
this Act to be submitted for preclearance under the federal Voting Rights Act of
1965, as amended, not later than 45 days after the date on which this Act is
approved by the Governor or otherwise becomes law without such
approval.
SECTION
4.
All
laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
