I'll post this for others that live in the Republic of California and worry about buying out of state.
It's on the underside of the hood and has "California" right on it. In addition the window sticker states, "EMISSIONS: This vehicle is certified to meet emission requirements in all 50 states." So buying out of California and registering it in California isn't an issue, but you will have to get a smog check on your brand new car.
My out of state purchase went smoothly. I only paid for the MSRP price at the dealer and got temporary use sticker in the rear window to drive it home. The taxes and registration fees all got paid in California at the DMV.
