Thank you to all for your suggestions. Yeah I tried the ARB 800-242-4450 and they play a message to just email the helpline.arb.ca.gov, but that group mailbox hasn't responded in 1.5 months despite multiple attempts.
Jim Kelly - Thanks for the suggestion. I used what JPS Classics provided as instructions and they stated to put down 20## in the DMV forms. I used 2020 because of the instructions. Year 2020 in listed in the forms REG 343, REG 256, REG 5036, Brake & Light certs (B-91, L-91). Now I have to figure if that is the reason and if I have to resubmit everything all over again. I'll try contacting the BAR referee again to see if he has any ideas on how to resubmit the year. I hope I don't have to redo all the paperwork again.
