From your own link:

"Though the claim about the Alabama state legislature is pure nonsense, it is similar to an event that happened more than a century ago. In 1897 the Indiana House of Representatives unanimously passed a measure redefining the area of a circle and the value of pi. (House Bill no. 246, introduced by Rep. Taylor I. Record.) The bill died in the state Senate."

But they didn't try to do it to match the biblical problem we have been discussing here. They did it apparently to give some recognition to a theory about the area of a circle being impossible to determine using the pi r squared formula.

Donh stated that they tried to pass a law making pi=3. Which is not exactly true.
