I'm just being devils advocate. Like I said I hope I'm wrong. I mean why discontinue a program that brings in $$?

Wouldn't in then read:
"Referee, Consumer Assistance Program (CAP) Repair Assistance, and..."
I think the Referee is tied to the CAP....so...NO?

The ref is an entity that does the testing in which you have to pay (didn't you pay?). CAP is an assistance program that uses state $$ to be used at the ref. I just hope I'm wrong.

So, let's say that they DID suspend the ref - what happens now when you get pulled over with the "pop the hood" run around?

good question. in my guess, and i'm just guessing here, that it wouldn't matter anymore?
don't misunderstand this though. smog is still in effect, this is just regarding state ref

I don't know.

Yes, paid $38 bucks for the smog and certificate.

Had to get the sound test done which was free.

Heard the news as well. So does this mean I can freely run around with a K20 in a car it wasn't meant for?

Can't the police just send you directly to smog?

I think it supposed to read as a whole. I could be wrong but this is how I comprehend it. I'm gonna try to find time to call tomorrow. I HOPE I'm WRONG!

"Referee and Consumer Assistance Program (CAP) Repair Assistance"
I think it's two separate...

http://www.bar.ca.gov/80_BARResources/01_C...ssist_FAQs.html

That's info on just CAP... looks like referee is separate from CAP and it's not meant to be "Referee and CAP" as one..
