Abstract

The Act provides for the composition of Georgia's thirteen congressional districts. It also defines the terms tract and BG (Block Group) consistent with the 2000 Census. Further, the Act provides that any part of the State of Georgia that is not assigned to a congressional district, or any part of Georgia assigned to a congressional district to which it is not contiguous, shall be assigned to the least populous and congruous congressional district. Finally, current members of the United States House of Representatives shall retain their office until January 2003, when the first members elected pursuant to this Act shall serve.
