described.

the descriptive term for a subject in sections 15-14-727 to 15-14-740 or a citation to
a section of sections 15-14-727 to 15-14-740 incorporates the entire section as if it
were set out in full in the power of attorney.

(2.5) In addition to the incorporation of authority as provided in subsections
