I own a 1999 Dodge Ram Pick up. How often do I need a smog check?

I bought the truck last year and had it certified as complient with the State of California smog requirements. It is time to re new my registration, and the DMV is asking for a smog certificate (again). Do I need another smog check, or do I send in last year's certification?
Answer:

Sounds like the DMV is requesting a smog check at this time based on your vehicle's biennial smog check schedule. The smog test you obtained when you bought the truck was strictly for title transfer purposes. It appears you will need a smog inspection once again in order to complete the registration renewal process. posted by SmogTips Support
