"...ending the requirement for light duty vehicle owners to obtain an emissions test prior to vehicle registration renewal as of April 1, 2019."

I'm interested to know how this might impact those with registration renewal dates on the cusp of April 1st 2019:

I know for a fact that my registration comes due literally the week before April 1st 2019, and under the old rules would require emissions testing through the drive clean program.

If I were to put off actually registering the car in question until after April 1st 2019 deadline (i.e. the following week) would I still be required to get emissions testing done, or would it no longer be required because the program has ended?
