Bill Summary
AN ACT To abolish the office of elected county surveyor of Bartow County; to provide for the appointment of a county surveyor by the governing authority of the county; to provide that the person currently serving as elected county surveyor shall serve out the remainder of his or her term; to provide for successors; to provide for qualifications; to provide for an effective date; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill abolishes the elected county surveyor position in Bartow County, Georgia, transitioning the role from an elected to an appointed position. Under the new arrangement, the Bartow County governing authority will appoint a qualified county surveyor for one-year terms, with successors also being appointed annually. The qualifications for the surveyor will remain consistent with existing state law (O.C.G.A. Code Section 36-7-2). The current elected county surveyor will be allowed to complete their existing term, and no further elections will be held for this office. The bill becomes effective upon the Governor's approval or when it automatically becomes law, and it repeals any conflicting laws. This change aligns with Georgia state law that allows local governments to modify certain county offices, in this case transforming the county surveyor from an elected to an appointed position.
