disposal of medical marijuana or medical marijuana products shall be performed
by a type 1 key employee in the designated
destruction area identified in the processor's plans and specifications
submitted to the department. The disposal shall be performed under video
surveillance from the time the destruction begins to when it is placed in a
locked dumpster or other approved, locked container and removed from the
facility.
(D) The type 1
key employee overseeing the disposal of
medical marijuana shall maintain and make available in accordance with this
chapter a separate record of every disposal indicating:
