The department may authorize a South Dakota foster parent who is moving from the state to take the child in foster care with the foster parent if the removal of the child to the new state is determined to be in the child's best interests and is consistent with the child's permanent plan.

If the department has been granted temporary custody of the child through a court order, the department must have the court's written concurrence with the plan before the child may be removed from this state.

The movement of a child in foster care who is a resident of South Dakota by a foster parent licensed in South Dakota to another state must comply with the provisions of SDCL 26-13, the interstate compact on the placement of children.

General Authority: SDCL 26-13-1.

Law Implemented: SDCL 26-13-1.
