What state tried to legislate an alternate valur for pie back in 1897?

In 1897, the state of Indiana attempted to legislate an alternate value for pi through House Bill 246. The bill, proposed by a local physician, suggested that pi could be approximated as 3.2, among other values. Although it passed the Indiana House, it was ultimately rejected by the Senate and never became law. This episode is often cited as an example of a misguided legislative effort in mathematics.
