1. Disclosing to the department of revenue or its agent a person's financial record pursuant to section 42-1207 or any acts of omission that are inadvertent and made in good faith.

2. Encumbering or surrendering any assets held by the financial institution in response to a notice of levy that is issued by the department of revenue or for any action taken in good faith to comply with this section.

D. The remedy under subsection B of this section is limited to collection of delinquent taxes, penalties and interest.
