(b) Payment to organizations pursuant to this chapter shall be restricted to sums required for the payment of salaries and wages of employees, and for the purchase of necessary equipment for the execution of approved activities. Nothing contained in this section shall be interpreted to authorize expenditures leading to the possession, utilization, carrying, or dissemination of firearms or other deadly weapons, regardless of whether the appropriate license has been issued for firearms or other deadly weapons. Qualifying equipment expenditures may include, but shall not be limited to, locks and audio warning devices for use by financially needy, victim-prone residents, patrol vehicles, radios, signs, gasoline, support services for crime victims, publicity, and office supplies. Authorized expenditures may not include the salaries of, or fees for, the hiring of private guards.

To the extent other state funds are received in violation of this section, payments otherwise due under this chapter shall be accordingly reduced.
