(1) The terms 'Tract' and 'BG'
(Block Group) shall mean and describe the same geographical
boundaries as provided in the report of the Bureau of the Census
for the United States decennial census of 2000 for the State of
Georgia. The separate numeric designations in a Tract description
which are underneath a 'BG' heading shall mean and describe
individual Blocks within a Block Group as provided in the report of
the Bureau of the Census for the United States decennial census of
2000 for the State of Georgia. (2) Except as otherwise provided in the
description of any congressional district, whenever the description
of any congressional district refers to a named city, it shall mean
the geographical boundaries of that city as shown on the census
maps for the United States decennial census of 2000 for the State
of Georgia. (b) Any part of
the State of Georgia which is not included in any congressional
district described in subsection (a) of Code Section 21-1-2 shall
be included within that district contiguous to such part which
contains the least population according to the United States
decennial census of 2000 for the State of Georgia.
(c) Any part of the State of Georgia
which is described in subsection (a) of Code Section 21-1-2 as
being included in a particular congressional district shall
nevertheless not be included within such congressional district if
such part is not contiguous to such congressional district. Such
noncontiguous part shall instead be included within that
congressional district contiguous to such part which contains the
least population according to the United States decennial census of
2000 for the State of Georgia.
