Here's the full context, which I believe shows that yes, in fact, certain items have been banned entirely. Other requipment, like riot gear, now required some sort of sign off.

The banned items are tracked armored vehicles, bayonets, grenade launchers, ammunition of .50-caliber or higher and some types of camouflage uniforms, according to a report released by a White House working group that made the recommendations. Other equipment, including tactical vehicles, explosives and riot equipment, will be transferred only if local police provide additional certification and assurances that the gear will be used responsibly, according to the report.

So the only difference between the two lists is the ammunition and bayonets?
