The local agency's permission must be obtained any time the foster care provider or child is to be away from the residential facility for more than three nights or, if the child leaves the state, for any period of time. The local agency may give specifically defined blanket permission for departures from the state if a provider or child regularly leaves the state for an identified routine purpose.
