I stand corrected, it was (almost) Indiana <EG>.

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.
