Considering the fact that CA has more cars than any state in the union and the fifth largest economy in the world, it would be impossible to breath if auto and factory emissions weren't controlled. We have CARB ( California Air Resources Board) which imposses the toughest laws in the country.That is why cars are divided into Ca cars and 49 state cars. We have always had the toughest auto emissions testing, but changing federal laws are mandating the same sort of testing in all states.
Also Californians always push for more control of their daily lives as exhibited by the fact that you can go into a store in San Francisco and buy medical mariuana (sp) for pain if you have a doctor's note. This is driving the feds crazy. When those cars came out with test points Ca said owners should have easy access to the codes.
