Depends on which state you're talking about - some check, and some don't. If yours does, and if they're really bad (not just a little soft), then you'll probably fail.
Either way, if they need to be changes, then do it. Shocks aren't just for comfort - they also help keep the tyres in contact with the road when driving over bumps - so the car turns and stops better.

If they are not bad enough that the technician will notice... i.e. the car bounces alot as you/he pulls it in. maybe. but do yourself a favor and don't try to cheat the system... safety inspections are there for a reason. get the shocks fixed

If the mechanic doing the inspection is thorough, he'll pick it up, and if he picks it up... your car fails inspection.
