HR 964 proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Georgia so as to provide that the re-creation of a previously existing county which was merged into another county may be accomplished by law.

            Paragraph II of Article IX, Section I of the Constitution is amended through the addition of subsection (d) which concerns boundaries and transitional provisions of the re-creation of a county. The re-creation shall not become effective unless approved by a majority of qualified voters voting thereon in the area of the county to be re-created. The superior court of a county re-created shall be included in the same judicial circuit as the county which previously included the greatest part of the territory, unless otherwise provided by law. The territory within the re-created county shall constitute a new school district and shall be removed from any other local school district.

            The bill further provides the contents of the ballot for submitting such proposed amendment.
