I believe section 317ZK, subsection (3) of the act [0] prohibits a provider from bearing the costs of compliance. If I read correctly, the cost is negotiated between the provider and the government and the government bears the cost. And section 317ZGA [1] explicitly puts compliance with interception warrants (which I believe are the warrants in the new bill) out of scope. I _think_ the effort a provider has to put in to comply with the new act is primarily limited by 27KP(2)e's "reasonable" wording.
