§ 43150 Vehicle Emission Certification Standards
You buy a brand-new car from another state and try to register it in California.
If the car doesn’t meet California’s pollution rules, you won’t be allowed to register it here. The law wants cleaner air but also doesn’t want to stop people from moving or doing business.
