In 2019, the General Assembly passed statutes that retroactively cancelled most annexation remonstrance waivers. Bloomington attempted to annex seven areas, and Monroe County Auditor applied the 2019 act to nullify waivers in those areas. Bloomington sued the Auditor, alleging the 2019 act violated the federal and Indiana constitutions’ contract clauses. After the State intervened, the Monroe Circuit Court granted the State’s summary judgment motion, finding that a political subdivision has no right to bring a contract clause claim against the State. The Court of Appeals affirmed. City of Bloomington v. Smith, 252 N.E.3d 951 (Ind. Ct. App. 2025), trans. pending. Bloomington has petitioned the Indiana Supreme Court to accept jurisdiction over the appeal.
