The rule you referenced seemed to be aimed at dealer sales, not annual re registration.
I see what you mean but in my case I don't want to just get away with something. I want to know I'm 100% legal.

And OP, CARB is California Air Research Board, it doesn't help a damn person outside CA.
Thanks, never really looked at it with the intent that it's meant for dealers. But, when I see the words registered, emissions, and California all in the same section I get confused on what I can and can't do legally. Same with department of ecology and EPA laws...
