AI Summary
- Proposes an amendment to the Georgia Constitution (Article IX, Section I, Paragraph II) to allow the re-creation of a county that was previously merged into another county, accomplished through legislation by the General Assembly
- Re-creation of a county would require approval by a majority of qualified voters in the area of the county to be re-created, as defined in the enabling Act
- The boundaries of the re-created county may match those in effect immediately prior to the merger or be generally similar but not identical, at the General Assembly's discretion
- The re-creation law would have the force of general law despite its territorial application, would not be preempted by other general laws, and would be exempt from constitutional restrictions on multiple subject matter, population-based Acts, and local constitutional amendments
- The re-created county's superior court would be included in the same judicial circuit as the county that previously contained the greatest part of its territory, and its territory would constitute a new county school district
