Default Smog and timing?? (CA)

Alrighty, so I took my car to our local super ghetto smog shop, where they have already passed quite a few of hybrids.

I took it there and they said they could not pass it because the timing belt cover is off; and they wouldn't be able to check the timing. (I took it off to get to the adj. cam gears)

Since when do they have to check the timing on a smog test? This is in NorCal and I don't believe it is part of the Smog II program.

Yep, they've always checked the timing everytime I've gotten a smog check too.
