Senate panel advances two restoration bills for a local business couple
Summary
Sen. Parks described two bills to restore rights to 'Teddy' (the transcript uses 'Null/Knowl/Tom' variants) and Pamela Knowl, noting theft and forgery convictions with discharges in 2017 and 2018 and describing both as productive business owners; the committee advanced both by voice vote.
Senator Parks spoke for two restoration bills, saying one nominee was convicted of theft/stolen property and discharged in 2017, and the other (Pamela Knowl) faced forgery charges and was discharged in 2018. Parks described both as productive citizens who own and operate successful local businesses and offered to answer questions about their records.
The committee handled both bills together and advanced them by voice vote; the chair recorded "the ayes have it." No public comment or roll-call vote appears in the hearing record and the transcript records only Parks' summary and the committee's voice approval.
