According to the final text approved Sunday, the Texas bill will:

? Impose state felony penalties on public officials who offer an application to vote by mail to someone who didn’t request it.

? Allow signatures on mail ballot applications to be compared with any signature on record, eliminating protections that the signature on file must be recent and that the application signature must be compared with at least two others on file to prevent the arbitrary rejection of ballots.

? Impose new identification requirements on those applying for mail ballots, in most cases requiring a driver’s license or ­Social Security number.

? Impose a civil fine of $1,000 a day for local election officials who do not maintain their voter rolls as required by law, and impose criminal penalties on election workers who obstruct poll watchers.

? Grant partisan poll watchers new access to watch all steps of the voting and counting process “near enough to see and hear the activity.”

? And require individuals to fill out a form if they plan to transport more than two nonrelatives to the polls, and expand the requirement that those assisting voters who need help must sign an oath attesting under penalty of perjury that the people they’re helping are eligible for assistance because of a disability and that they will not suggest for whom to vote.
