Description
The Smog Check Referee Program is a statewide network of stations that provide resources to consumers and Smog Check inspectors. These include:
- Smog Check Inspection Review - Consumers who have concerns about the results of their Smog Check inspections can get a third-party evaluation at a referee station.
- Law Enforcement Citations - The referee can inspect a consumer’s vehicle that has been cited by law enforcement authorities for modified emission controls or excessive exhaust noise.
- Verification of Smog Check Exemption - If a consumer receives a registration renewal notice incorrectly requiring a Smog Check inspection, the referee can verify the vehicle is exempt and issue an exempt certificate so that the vehicle’s registration can be completed.
- Repair Cost Waivers - The referee may grant a repair cost waiver to allow a consumer to renew the registration and provide additional time to complete the repairs.
