(Ga. L. 1980, p. 4180), is amended by striking in its entirety Section 2 and

"SECTION
2.
(a) The tax commissioner of Franklin County shall be
compensated as provided in this section.
(b) The
person who was in office as such official on February 1, 2002, shall receive as
a base salary the total amount which was being received by such official on
February 1, 2002, from county funds. If state employees are granted a
cost-of-living increase by general Act of the General Assembly, the total
compensation then being received by such official shall be increased effective
on the same date and in the same percentage or amount as any such cost-of-living
increase granted to state employees by such general Act. At the end of each
complete four-year term of office served by such official which is completed
after February 1, 2002, the total compensation then being received by such
official shall be increased by 5 percent. If the base minimum salary amount
provided by general law for a tax commissioner of a county having the same
population as Franklin County is increased on or after May 1, 2002, the total
compensation then being received by the tax commissioner of Franklin County
shall be increased in the same amount and on the same effective date as the
change in such base minimum salary contained in subsection (a) of such Code
section. This subsection shall be applicable only to the individual in office
as such official on February 1, 2002. The Board of Commissioners of Franklin
County, acting in its sole discretion, is authorized to supplement the
compensation so established for such official in such amount as may be fixed by
the board of commissioners.
(c) Any person elected or
appointed to such office, other than the individual holding such office on
February 1, 2002, shall be compensated in the amount established as minimum
compensation for such office by the general laws of this state. The Board of
Commissioners of Franklin County, acting in its sole discretion, is authorized
to supplement the compensation so established for such official in such amount
as may be fixed by the board of commissioners.
(d) All
such compensation shall be paid in equal monthly installments from the funds of
Franklin County."
SECTION 2.
This Act shall become effective on January 1,
2003.
SECTION 3.
All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are
repealed.
