I am not sure just what they mean by this, but it looks to me as if they are ging to make engines meet emission requirements even if you get the SB-100 number. I am sure they will interpet this any way they want to as this is mor about another way to get rid of cars and make more money for a bunch of crooks than it is about anythig else.
Bureau of Automotive Repair
Each SPCNS registration application requires an initial inspection at a BAR Referee Station to determine the model year for Smog Check inspection purposes (if the vehicle qualifies for the SB 100 program), to determine Smog Check requirements (if any), to inspect the vehicle to ensure the appropriate emission control systems have been installed as required, and if required, to conduct a Smog Check inspection of the vehicle (BAR, 2011a).
