Sorry to say but this is not going to make a dang bit of difference unless all states do it. Nevada enacted similar type legislation in '2003 and it has not made any major windfall for them, they do not even mint the coin yet because there is not enough demand for it, or at least 10 of them anyway:

The flood gates will soon be open with most of the states following. If they don't there will be such an out flow of cash from their banking systems it could cause them to crash. FB
I don't know about this. They clearly state that it will be legal tender. Are they trying to convert substance to credit? Maybe, we sure wouldn't want Lawful Money to catch on would we ;)

I think the new legislation being kicked around in different states now is just smoke and mirrors, to make people think that something positive is being done, while distracting them from the lawful money remedy.
UTAH GOVERNOR SIGNS GOLD & SILVER LEGAL TENDER BILL!
Utah has now become the first State on our list to actually enact a sound money bill into law. On Friday, March 25th, Gov. Gary Herbert signed HB 317, the "Utah Legal Tender Act," into law. The law recognizes gold and silver coins issued by the federal government as legal currency in the state. The coins do not replace the current paper currency, but may be used and accepted voluntarily as an alternative.

Of interest to this thread:
"The Constitution ‘was designed to provide the same currency, having a uniform legal value in all the States.’ It was for that reason that the power to regulate the value of money was conferred upon the Federal government, while the same power, as well as the power to emit bills of credit, was withdrawn from the States.
The States cannot declare what shall be money, or regulate its value. Whatever power there is over the currency is vested in the Congress." Congress provided in 31 U.S.C.A. section 463
