Bill Summary
AN ACT To abolish the office of elected county surveyor of Butts County; to provide for the appointment of a county surveyor by the governing authority of the county; 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 Butts County, Georgia, and replaces it with an appointed position. Specifically, the Butts County governing authority will now have the power to appoint a county surveyor for one-year terms, rather than having the position be an elected role. The appointed surveyor must meet the qualifications outlined in the Official Code of Georgia Annotated (O.C.G.A.) Section 36-7-2, which likely includes professional standards or certifications for surveying work. The bill takes effect immediately upon the governor's approval or when it becomes law without approval, and it repeals any existing laws that conflict with its provisions. This change represents a shift from a democratic election process to an administrative appointment for the county surveyor role in Butts County.
