BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

SECTION 1.
An Act creating a Board of Commissioners for Troup County, approved March 25, 1958 (Ga. L. 1958, p. 3068), as amended, is amended by striking subsection (a) of Section 6 and inserting in its place a new subsection (a) to read as follows:
"(a) The Board of Commissioners shall hold at least one regular meeting each month at the Offices of the Troup County Board of Commissioners. This meeting shall generally be held on the first Tuesday of each month. In the event the first Tuesday of the month falls upon a legal holiday or if it becomes apparent that a quorum of commissioners will not be obtained, the regular meeting may be rescheduled to an alternate date within the month. The commissioners may hold such other regular, special, or additional meetings as they may deem necessary or proper. No notice shall be required to be given for any regular meeting, a regular meeting being any meeting designated to be held regularly by the commissioners, such as annual, quarterly, monthly, semimonthly, or weekly meetings or other such meetings held at regular, periodic intervals. However, if any regular monthly meeting is rescheduled, public notice of such rescheduled meeting shall be provided as required by law."

SECTION 2.
Said Act is further amended by striking Section 15 and inserting in its place a new Section 15 to read as follows:

"SECTION 15.

The Board of Commissioners shall make all purchases on the basis of competitive bids when, in its discretion, it deems it practicable to do so or when required by state law of general application."

SECTION 3.
This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without such approval.

SECTION 4.
All laws or parts of law in conflict with this Act are repealed.
