En lenguaje claro
The City of Cochran operates under a city charter that the Georgia General Assembly approved in 2012. This bill amends that charter to redraw the city's official boundaries, known as corporate limits. Specifically, it adds the right of way of State Route 23, also called U.S. Highway 87, to the city's territory. The added stretch runs from where the city's boundary currently sits northward up to the intersection with Jac Arts Road. The bill states this change applies regardless of any other charter language that might conflict with it. It also repeals any other laws that conflict with this change.
