Exempt vehicles
The following types of vehicles aren’t required to be certified to California emission standards:
2008 or earlier vehicle models.
Passenger vans and buses with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) greater than 10,000.
Heavy-duty cargo vans and trucks with a GVWR greater than 8,500.
Previously-registered vehicles with more than 7,500 miles at the time of sale.

This is not the same as CA's level of atrocity.
Here, all vehicles 1976 model year or newer have to meet the same (ridiculously high) standards. Of course, new vehicles are exempt for 7 years...
