BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

SECTION 1.
An Act creating the board of commissioners of Dade County, approved April 4, 1991 (Ga. L. 1991, p. 3893), as amended, particularly by an Act approved May 1, 2002 (Ga. L. 2002, p. 5339), is amended by striking subsections (a) and (b) of Section 2 and inserting in lieu thereof new subsections (a) and (b) to read as follows:
"(a) For the purpose of electing the members of the board of commissioners, except of the chairperson/county executive, Dade County is divided into four commissioner districts which shall correspond to those four numbered districts described in and attached to and made a part of this Act and further identified as Plan Name: dadeccp1 Plan Type: Local User: staff Administrator: Dade Co.
(b) When used in such attachment, the terms 'Tract' and 'BG' (Block Group) 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 2000 for the State of Georgia. The separate numeric designations in a Tract description which are underneath a 'BG' heading shall mean and describe individual Blocks within a Block Group as provided in the report of the Bureau of the Census for the United States decennial census of 2000 for the State of Georgia. Any part of Dade County not included in any such district described in that attachment shall be included within that district contiguous to such part that contains the least population according to the United States decennial census of 2000 for the State of Georgia. Any part of Dade County 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 that contains the least population according to the United States decennial census of 2000 for the State of Georgia. 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 2000 for the State of Georgia."

SECTION 2.
The Board of Commissioners of Dade County shall through its legal counsel cause this Act to be submitted for preclearance under the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended; and such submission shall be made to the United States Department of Justice or filed with the appropriate court no later than 30 days after the date on which this Act is approved by the Governor or otherwise becomes law without such approval.

SECTION 3.
This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without such approval.

SECTION 4.
All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
Plan Name: dadeccp1 Plan Type: Local User: staff Administrator: Dade Co.
