				completion of a human trafficking assessment, the local department may consult
				with the family to arrange for necessary protective and rehabilitative services
				to be provided to the child and his family pursuant to subdivision B 2 of
				§
									63.2-1506.1

				Families may decline services offered as a result of a human trafficking
				assessment, family assessment, or an investigation. If the family declines

				the local department determines that sufficient cause exists due to threat of
				harm or actual harm to the child to redetermine the case as one that needs to

				taken solely because the family declines services.

				or outside of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and forward to such agency relevant
				portions of the case records pursuant to §
									63.2-1503G
				of the Code of Virginia.
