Bill > HB411

This bill modifies the composition of the Banks County Board of Commissioners by redefining the commissioner districts. The bill establishes five commissioner districts, with Districts 1-4 corresponding to specific geographic areas detailed in an attached plan called "BanksCC-2025", and District 5 covering the entire county, with its representative serving as board chairperson. The bill clarifies that district boundaries will be based on the 2020 U.S. Census Bureau geographical definitions, using Vote Tabulation Districts (VTDs) and census blocks as reference points. Any parts of the county not explicitly included in a district will be assigned to the least populated contiguous district. Current board members will continue to serve until their terms expire, and existing Districts 1-4 will be redesignated according to the new boundaries. The bill becomes effective upon gubernatorial approval or when it automatically becomes law, and it repeals any conflicting previous laws. The specific technical details of district boundaries are provided in a detailed Appendix A that lists precise block and voting district designations.
