So do you HAVE to go in and fix it or what? or is it up to the owner? the article stated, "Atwood emphasized that the program is voluntary and insists that the district has no intention of sharing its smog readings with the Department of Motor Vehicles". Im guessing if you get a notice, theyre just pleading to you to make a change, not FORCING? I hope its not a mandatory thing.
