After consultation with agencies serving victims of human trafficking, the
department shall promulgate administrative regulations for the treatment of child
victims of human trafficking who are committed to or in the custody of the

of the Cabinet for Health and Family Services under subsection (1)(c) of this
section. The administrative regulations shall include provisions for appropriate
