This is a hoax according to snopes.com, New Mexicans for Science and Reason, and Advance Local.
There was a proposal for a bill known as the Indiana Pi Bill (read it here) in 1897, according to Wikipedia. Notably, it had no basis in religion. Setting pi is not the main point of the bill, but it does say
the ratio of the diameter and circumference is as five-fourths to four
which sets the ratio of circumference to diameter, pi, as 4/1.25=3.2.
