... I believe that you are correct, but IMHO CA is not the strictest any more.  This may change, but those other states adopted the CA regs verbatim.  I also 
know of a number of states that are using chassis dynos for the testing ... 
that was on the way to adoption here in CA, but popular outcry has stopped
it for now.  We even got a law passed that exempts older cars (<1974) from 
smog tests ...
