The general counsel for the utilities commission shall prepare a blank form of franchise, which shall provide space for a general description of the improvement authorized, the name and address of the person or corporation to whom granted, the general terms and conditions upon which the franchise is granted, and other things as necessary. This blank form shall be filled out and signed by the chairperson of the utilities commission which grants the franchise, and the official seal shall be attached. The franchise is subject to regulations and restrictions as the general assembly prescribes, and to rules, not inconsistent with statutes, as the utilities commission may establish.
