Supposedly the way it's going to work is if you trip the smog threshold sensor your plate is photoed and you get a notice in the mail requiring you to bring your vehicle in for additional smog checking (I'm sure you'll have to pay the $60 fee for this also).

While I'm all for nailing the really flagrant, grossly polluting POS vehicles on our roads, this is undoubtedly a revenue-inspired initiative rather than any sort of serious air quality initiative. A lot of the worst polluting vehicles I see are able to skirt the law by being registered in Mexico, BTW. Just a little point of note...
