LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Nebraska lawmakers have kicked off a new session with contentious abortion and gun-rights measures and an expected focus on how to spend more than $1 billion in pandemic relief aid that has left the state flush with money.

The 60-day short session will feature debates over taxes, prison policy, state spending and social issues.

Lawmakers introduced 107 bills and two proposed constitutional amendments on their first day, foreshadowing a busy and likely heated session.
