The rule is the same at all levels: a free kick must be a place kick or drop kick, as BBR states. A special exception is made for free kicks after a safety, where a punt is an additional option.
The rationale for the exception is surely the fact that a free kick following a safety is made from the 20 rather than the usual free kick spot. Free kicks following safeties are thus exceptional in 2 ways.
