. In some limited and carefully delineated situations, the legislature has by statute expressly given attorney general’s opinions the force of law unless and until a court of competent jurisdiction overrules them. See N. States Power Co. v. Williams, 343 N.W.2d 627, 632 (Minn.1984). Statutes granting attorney general’s opinions the force of law include those regulating certain school and tax matters. In re Admonition No. 99-42, 621 N.W.2d 240, 244 n. 4 (Minn.2001); see also Minn. Stat. §§ 8.07, 270.09 (2004). Because the legislature has not given attorney general opinions regarding public-employee matters the force of law, we are not bound by attorney general's opinions in this case.
