Joel Jennissen v. City of Bloomington

Summary

The court held that state law does not preempt Bloomington's proposed charter amendment requiring voter approval before the City implements organized solid-waste collection. Applying the four-factor field-preemption analysis, the court concluded that the statute establishes minimum procedures while preserving municipal authority under other laws, including a home-rule charter. The court reversed and remanded for consideration of the remaining issues not previously addressed by the court of appeals.
