IIRC, Colorado is not the first US state to do this. Ohio did this a few years ago, but shut down the program due to lack of use. Hope, this one sticks.
Edit: in 2018 - one Bitcoin cycle ago.

As it is, this does not mean adoption or anything positive.
Until the gov pays you in btc, this means citizens are exchanging btc for fiat. Not a good deal.

Sorry, I know you want to refer to something else when you say "gov pays you" but I have to explain an important aspect that many people don't get it:
a gov WILL NEVER pays you, a gov will ALWAYS steal from you and give it to others.
Gov do not have any money, it can't have money. If a gov would have own money, then why do we still pay taxes?
As I explained in this post how a gov is a corporation.
Govs are corporations and people still don't get it. If they would get it, then they will start asking questions, important questions...

Not really.
PayPal will forward your tax payment, in USD, to the State of Colorado. It's essentailly a bill-pay service from PayPal, and not much different from what BitRefill and others provide. Subtle, but significant difference.
