CA SB1190

Establishes the Eugenics Sterilization Compensation Program administered by the California Victim Compensation Board to compensate survivors of state-sponsored sterilization under California eugenics laws between 1909 and 1979.

Defines "qualified recipients" as individuals sterilized at state facilities (such as Agnews, Atascadero, Camarillo, Napa, Patton, and Stockton state hospitals) who were alive as of the program's start date.

Requires the board to conduct outreach, review applications, verify identities using the University of Michigan sterilization database and state records, and allow claimants to submit supporting evidence; awards compensation in two payments (initial and final).

Exempts victim compensation payments from state income tax, means-tested program eligibility determinations, and enforcement of money judgments; protects payments from Medi-Cal recovery absent federal guidance.

Authorizes the State Department of State Hospitals and State Department of Developmental Services to disclose records to board personnel for verification purposes while maintaining confidentiality; requires the board to keep all applicant information confidential.
