About the Smog Check Referee program

Referee centers are state contracted emissions test facilities that provide a wide array of resources for California motorists, including specialized services industry smog stations are not authorized to perform. The Foundation for California Community Colleges (FCCC) has been contracted by the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) to manage the Smog Check Referee program since 2004.
