Introduced today:

AB 619, as introduced, Emmerson. Vehicle registration amnesty
program.
Existing law generally requires all vehicles operating upon the
highways of this state to be registered and all fees and taxes to
have been paid.
This bill would require the Department of Motor Vehicles to
develop and administer a vehicle registration amnesty program for
vehicles that have been previously registered or incorrectly
classified. A participant in the program would be required to
complete an amnesty application with the department, signed under
penalty of perjury, by December 31, 2008

If your car is illegally registered you should self correct and re-register it legally. Self correction is far better then the current risk of being discovered, cited or arrested, and having your vehicle towed for being fraudulently registered. The above amnesity provision was crafted to deal with the issue that in self correcting you are admitting that you committed a felony violation of perjury (lied about make and model year of vehicle). Goal is to get everyone back in compliance.
