Well, "if" they can get this passed (and that's a big "if"), they could render all tuning software illegal. You'd be able to continue tuning anything you have now with your current tuner, but the updates to later models would stop, and no new tuning systems like HP Tuners and EFI Live would be sold. As new models of cars roll out you'd be stuck with whatever tuning the car came with, with no option for a performance boost. I'd think the diesel guys would really scream as there's huge gains in both performance and mileage through tuning now.
Guess it's a wait and see deal now. They're presenting it as a safety issue where a "tuner" could lose his electronic brakes or steering by making a coding error. I've never heard of this happening, or seen a tuner that gave me power over those systems. But common sense doesn't mean much to lawmakers who often go off emotion it seems.
