I don't think they are getting more lenient. B. looks like they are trying to stamp out modified cars from being able to go to any shop that won't do visuals and instead for owners to go to places that will be more likely to fail them. Failure = potential fines = more revenue.

Then again, lenient shops would still be lenient on the visual but it's hard for them to be lenient when the computer is monitoring emissions levels from OBD2.
