. (a) The department shall include the following notice with
each check issued as a refund of the smog impact fee:
"The enclosed check is a refund of the $300 Smog Impact Fee you
paid to the Department of Motor Vehicles when you initially
registered an out-of-state vehicle in California. In the case of
Jordan v. Department of Motor Vehicles (1999) 75 Cal.App.4th 449, the

includes an interest payment which has been calculated from the date
the fee was paid to the date the refund is issued.
"If you have any questions about the enclosed refund, please
contact your local office of the Department of Motor Vehicles."
(b) No notice other than the one required under subdivision (a)
may be included with a smog impact fee refund check.
