Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend an Act relating to the Brooks County Development Authority, approved March 9, 1967 (Ga. L. 1967, p. 2097), so as to revise provisions related to the appointment of members of the authority; to repeal outdated districting and initial term provisions; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill revises the appointment process for the Brooks County Development Authority by modifying the composition and selection of its board members. Specifically, the bill requires the Brooks County governing authority to appoint seven total members to the development authority, with two members specifically selected from within the City of Quitman and the remaining five members chosen from anywhere within Brooks County's geographic boundaries. All members must be outstanding citizens of Brooks County and will serve four-year terms, continuing in their roles until their successors are officially appointed and qualified. The bill repeals an older section of the original 1967 Act related to the authority's initial establishment and removes outdated provisions about district representation and initial terms, effectively updating and streamlining the appointment process for this local development authority.
