"SECTION 1. (A) Notwithstanding another provision of law, beginning with the 2022 school district elections, the nine defined single-member election districts from which each member of the Union County Board of School Trustees must reside in and be elected by the qualified electors of that district are as shown on the official map designated as S-87-00-22 prepared by and on file with the Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office. The Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office shall provide a certified copy of the map to the school district and the Union County Board of Voter Registration and Elections. Only successors to those trustees whose terms expire in 2022 must be elected in the 2022 school district elections. The remaining incumbent members shall continue to serve until their current terms expire in 2024, and the successors to these members must be elected in the 2024 school district elections. The official map must not be changed except by an act of the General Assembly or by a court of competent jurisdiction.
