(f) All budget items must be reasonable and necessary and be allocated proportionately within each budget category.

(g) The OAG is not obligated to fund budget items at the amounts requested by the applicant and is not obligated to continue to fund budget items once a grant has been awarded.

(h) Funding will not be awarded in any budget category for the payment of an administrative, legal, or capital expense.
