Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF not legal in CA?

I was at my local Kragen/O'Riley's in Hanford to pick up some Mobil 1 synthetic tranny fluid. When I went to the shelf, the section for Mobil 1 was completely empty and there were no cases around to break open. I went to the counter to ask if they had any more in the back. The guy at the counter told me that he had some but he couldn't sell it to me. I asked why. He said that they were told to pull it from the shelves earlier this week because it was no longer legal to sale in CA. He said it was because of CA emissions. Has anyone heard of this? My next question is how does tranny fluid affect emissions? Its not like its getting into the intake/exhaust of the engine. I left Kragen and went a block down the road to Pep Boys and they had three and a half cases sitting on the shelf so I bought what I needed.
