GS 20-183.8a went active Jan. 2007.

NC General Statute 20-183.8a
§ 20‑183.8A. Civil penalties against motorists for emissions violations.
The Division shall assess a civil penalty against a person who owns or leases a vehicle that is subject to an emissions inspection and who does any of the following:
(1) Fails to have the vehicle inspected within four months after it is required to be inspected under this Part.
(2) Instructs or allows a person to tamper with an emission control device of the vehicle so as to make the device inoperative or fail to work properly.
(3) Incorrectly states the county of registration of the vehicle to avoid having an emissions inspection of the vehicle.
The amount of penalty is one hundred dollars ($100.00) if the vehicle is a pre‑1981 vehicle and two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) if the vehicle is a 1981 or newer model vehicle. 
As provided in G.S. 20‑54, the registration of a vehicle may not be renewed until a penalty imposed under this section has been paid. (1993 (Reg. Sess., 1994), c. 754, ss. 1, 8; 1998‑212, s. 27.6(b).)

i just got off the phone with a customer service rep at DMV.

this is not true. There is (and has been) a 120 day grace period after
your inspection sticker expires to get it renrewed.

What's new is that if your car is still registered 120 days after your
inspection expires, you will get a $250 fine automatically. You do not
need to be pulled over to get this fine.

see also the discussion on this message board about this topic:

the woman i spoke with at DMV says they are getting a ton of phone calls
about this email. please don't forward it any further. you can call DMV
yourself to verify if you're not comfortable with my word, but you'll be
on hold for quite some time when you do, as a good many people are alos
calling for the same reason.
