I am buying a car in Florida, but I am attending USC for college. I am not a resident of California, I am a resident of Florida. Do the laws concerning car emissions still apply to me?

Answer 1 :
If you register the car in Florida you would need to comply with Florida's emissions laws. You'll be living in California for four years, and at some point you will probably be required to register it in California which means complying with our emissions laws. California law states that if you are paying the California resident tuition at any UC school you have established residency, and you MUST register your car in California within 20 days, but USC is a private school, so I'm not certain how that works. Have I thoroughly confused you yet?
Answer 2 :
Full time College students attending school away from home may use their home of record (Florida, for you) for their car registrations. You don't need to worry about complying with Ca. emissions
Answer 3 :
You will be living in California so you have to go by California laws. Check the DMV website for requirements in smogging, registration, plates, drivers licenses, etc. http://www.dmv.ca.gov/
