Bill Summary

AN ACT To amend an Act to re-create and establish the Board of Commissioners of Long County, approved March 10, 1988 (Ga. L. 1988, p. 3755), as amended, so as to revise the powers of the chairperson of the board of commissioners; to provide for a county manager; to provide an effective date; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing legislation governing Long County's Board of Commissioners by clarifying the role of the board chairperson and establishing a county manager position. The chairperson will continue to preside over board meetings, following Robert's Rules of Order, and will be recognized as the official head of Long County by various governmental authorities. The bill introduces a new provision requiring the board to employ a county manager who will be responsible for supervising and directing the county's administrative affairs. The board will have the authority to set the county manager's employment terms, duties, compensation, and grounds for termination. In the event of a vacancy in the county manager position, the board can authorize the chairperson to serve as an interim county manager for up to 90 days. The bill is set to become effective on July 1, 2025, and it repeals any laws that conflict with its provisions.
