Safe harbor provisions are about shielding the institution itself. When a credit union follows the specified rules and procedures, these provisions give it legal protection from liability for the actions covered. That means if the credit union acts in good faith, keeps proper records, and complies with the required conditions, it won’t be sued or penalized for those particular activities. This kind of protection is designed to encourage compliant behavior by the institution.
