REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 88B, § 30(d).

In subsection (a) of this section, the former reference to "application"
procedures is deleted as redundant.

In subsection (b)(3) of this section, the reference to officers not "assigned"
protective body armor is substituted for the former reference to officers not
"issued" protective body armor for consistency with subsection (b)(5) of this
section.

In subsection (b)(4) of this section, the former reference to the "total"
number of protective body armor units is deleted as surplusage.

In subsection (b)(7) of this section, the former reference to a "copy" of the
local law enforcement agency's budget request is deleted as surplusage.

In subsection (b)(8) of this section, the reference to "grants" is substituted
for the former reference to "awards" for consistency with terminology used
throughout this subtitle and this article.
