 (2) Without limiting the operation of subsection (1), a delegation may be expressed as a delegation to the person from time to time holding, or performing the duties of, a specified position or office in the service of a State or an authority of a State or under the law of a State.
 (3) A delegate of a Joint Authority is, in the exercise of his or her delegated powers, subject to the directions of the Joint Authority.
 (4) A delegation of a power under this section:
 (a) may be revoked, by instrument, by the Joint Authority (whether or not constituted by the persons constituting the Joint Authority at the time the power was delegated); and
 (b) continues in force despite any change in the membership of the Joint Authority.
 (5) A certificate signed by a member of a Joint Authority stating any matter with respect to a delegation of a power under this section by the Joint Authority is prima facie evidence of that matter.
