Stopping Discrimination Against Epileptics?

In Utah, Statute § 30-1-2.1 (Enacted in 1963) provides that "All marriages, otherwise valid and legal, contracted prior to the effective date of this act, to which either party was subject to chronic epileptic fits and who had not been sterilized, as provided by law, are hereby validated and legalized in all respects as though such marriages had been duly and legally contracted in the first instance."

So prior to 1963, epileptics were supposed to be sterilized before they could marry?
