B. After making the determinations required in subsection A, but before dispensing marijuana to a registered qualifying patient or a registered designated caregiver on a registered qualifying patient’s behalf, a nonprofit medical marijuana dispensary agent must enter the following information in the verification system:

1. How much marijuana is being dispensed to the registered qualifying patient.

2. Whether it was dispensed directly to the registered qualifying patient or to the registered qualifying patient’s registered designated caregiver.

3. The date and time the marijuana was dispensed.
