It's nothing more than a symbolic gesture as courts and prosecutors will struggle to label incidents like the Ahmaud Arbery murder as a lynching.

..."Congress must also commit to ending wars and militarism. Major violent institutions like prisons, police departments, and the military are bastions for white supremacist recruiters who grab isolated and alienated working-class white people to build their ranks. War additionally inspires civilians in the US to violently attack people who descend from places where our drones drop. Or, they join rightwing militia groups like the Oathkeepers, Sheepdogs, and Proud Boys to cement a war-like mentality often replete with martial gear and training. Thus, it is no surprise that the Buffalo shooter dressed in the similar military fashion that many other white, male mass shooters wear during their violence.
Demilitarization, decriminalization, decarceration, and defunding the police all help to shrink the sites of armed, white supremacist organizing. As we continue to build an abolitionist society, let us never forget that the same state that has passed this anti-lynching legislation is at the root of what conditioned the Buffalo shooter to target Black people."...

Unfortunately I don't think this law will prevent any lynching's. White supremacists kill because they're afraid their very way of life is disappearing and have been so indoctrinated to hate that they think they're part of a war. I do think the law can help afterwards making it federal to be able to reach out across state lines and try and go after those who indoctrinated him. If we can blow up a terrorist camp in Syria maybe we can start going after racist militias state side who are training and indoctrinating people.
