If a local alcohol policy is changed, the territorial authority must give the licensing authority a copy of the change or the updated policy. This must happen promptly after the change starts. The licensing authority needs to know about the change.

If a local alcohol policy is cancelled, the territorial authority must tell the licensing authority that it is no longer in effect. This notification must happen promptly after the cancellation. The territorial authority must inform the licensing authority about the cancellation.
