Correct answer

Update house policies and retrain staff to reflect the current requirements

  1. A Keep using the old rules
  2. B Ignore the change
  3. C Wait for a violation
  4. D Update house policies and retrain staff to reflect the current requirements

Why this is the answer

If alcohol laws or local rules change — for example, regarding hours, ID requirements, or permitted practices — the manager should update the establishment's house policies and retrain staff so everyone follows the current requirements. Continuing to operate under outdated rules risks violations. Because alcohol regulations can and do change, managers should stay informed through the state alcohol authority and adjust promptly when rules are revised. Proactively keeping policies and training current — rather than reacting only after a problem — is part of responsible, compliant management.
