BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

SECTION 1.

An Act to revise and reenact the law creating a Board of Commissioners of Bacon County, approved April 4, 1991 (Ga. L. 1991, p. 4436), as amended, particularly by an Act approved May 16, 2007 (Ga. L. 2007, p. 3718), is amended by revising subsections (b) and (c) of Section 1 as follows:

"(b) For purposes of electing members of the board other than the chairperson, each of whom must reside in the district from which the person is to be elected, Bacon County is divided into six commissioner districts. District 1 shall consist of all that territory embraced within the boundaries of Bacon County. Districts 2 through 6 shall be and correspond to those five districts described in and attached to and made a part of this Act and further identified as 'Plan: baconccsb-2012 Plan Type: local Administrator: bacon User: bak'.

(c)(1) 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.

(2) 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 Bacon 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.

(3) Any part of Bacon 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.

(4) Except as otherwise provided in the description of any 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 Bacon 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 Bacon 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.

The Board of Commissioners of Bacon 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 4.

The provisions of this Act relating to and necessary for the regular election in 2012 of members of the Board of Commissioners of Bacon 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.
