There should be enough ECUTEKs to tune cars. I don’t know if they will be going after tuners aggressively.
From the trade magazines I have read (I have to follow this stuff for my job) they will be mostly focused on the manufacturers and distributers of equipment/parts/tunes for the first stage of the increased enforcement. The end users such as the tuners and individuals using that equipment/parts/tunes will have a couple of years yet before they get down to enforcing at that level. The laws are set up to include the end users but the current target is still the source. Of course the point becomes moot if you can't get the stuff to start with.

Oh and this applies to all the US and Canada not just California.
