Introduced by: Thomas G. Baker, Jr. (by request) | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles | history
SUMMARY AS PASSED:
Biennial election of Giles County supervisors; initial terms. Authorizes the Giles County Board of Supervisors to provide by ordinance that, in the event the board adopts an ordinance providing for biennial elections of the board for staggered for four-year terms, the initial terms of members elected from districts shall be four years and those of members elected at large shall be two years. General law requires that the assignment of initial terms to establish the staggered election schedule be done by lot. These provisions will also apply to the elected school board, whose terms are tied by law to those of the supervisors.
