My husband got bleach on a plain khaki polo shirt. If I dye it a dark chocolate brown, will it cover the bleach stain?

Probably not, but it might work, if you dye it dark enough. 
Since dye is transparent, the bleach stain will always be a little lighter than the rest of the shirt. 

The easiest and often best solution is to find a fabric marker in the same color as the shirt, and color over the bleach spot.

See "How can I fix the bleach spots on my favorite clothing?", in the FAQ section of my website.
