The State Department of State Hospitals, the State Department of Developmental Services, and the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, in consultation with stakeholders, including at least one member and one advocate of those who were sterilized under California's eugenics laws between 1909 to 1979, inclusive, and of those who were sterilized without proper authorization while imprisoned in California state prisons after 1979, shall establish markers or plaques at designated sites that acknowledge the wrongful sterilization of thousands of vulnerable people under eugenics policies and the subsequent sterilization of people in California's women's prisons caused, in part, by the forgotten lessons of the harms of the eugenics movement.
