The office of Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning issued negative opinions Monday on eight bills introduced so far during the Legislature's special session intended to cut $334 million from the two-year state budget.

Excluding bills introduced on behalf of Gov. Dave Heineman, nine of the 12 bills introduced by lawmakers have been deemed clearly or likely outside the session limits that were set by Heineman. That means the bills probably will not be considered at all during the session.

One of the nixed bills called for increasing fee money that goes to a fund to control weeds. Last week, Bruning's office said another bill didn't fit the purposes of the special session.
