From what I've heard, there's a new system up and running as of a month ago or so. The smog machine now, via the OBD port, FORCES monitor item checks in your ECU. As far as I understand, a car with a catless reflash, and the subsequent CEL codes "turned off" with an AP or otherwise, will immediately fail the smog test, when it attempts to run those monitors.
