  • prohibit a state, local government, or Indian tribe from using any funding under another grant program to pay or defer the cost of the matching fund requirement for such Program;
  • require a grantee under such Act that uses funds to purchase an armor vest or body armor to comply with any requirements for the use of Program grants, to have a written policy requiring uniformed patrol officers to wear an armor vest or body armor, and to use the funds to purchase vests or body armor that meet performance standards established by the Bureau of Justice Assistance; and
