Yes it does. Unless you think reforming regulators will somehow be easier.

Banning turns enforcement from a "is this gas stove properly vented, when inspected before either are installed" to a "is that a gas hookup for this building? wtf"

Every new building already has a raft of inspections.

Banning something at construction time has by far the least regulatory impact of any intervention.

If anyone was proposing turning off existing methane infrastructure, that would be quite different.
