Billy Bob redneck in Texas hears they are banning gas stoves.
I am sure the first thing that pops in his mind is they mean they are banning NG hookups in new construction. 
As a contractor in CA, that's absolutely the first thing that pops into mind for my clients. And everyone is rushing to submit opens before April 1st because of it.
I assure you that your average redneck in Texas or Oklahoma (and I frequent both states) has a much better idea of the ramifications of one component of construction on another than your average yuppie in Chicago.
