*2. Nothing in this section shall be construed as creating any civil or criminal liability for any law enforcement officer, juvenile officer, school personnel, or court personnel for any action taken or failure to take any action involving a minor child who remains under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court under this section if such action or failure to take action is based on a good faith belief by such officer or personnel that the minor child is not under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court.

3. The amendments to subsection 2 of this section, as provided for in this act**, shall not take effect until such time as the provisions of section 211.021 shall take effect in accordance with subsection 2 of section 211.021.
