Are they trying to ban it?  What's wrong with the way things work now?  Why do we need the .gov to come in and legislate something that's not illegal to start with?

[TrophyHunter 15]

Agreed, Josh, but this is just to allow CHP to have guidelines posted like they used to. There have been movements to make it illegal so this is just affirming it IS legal. CHP also oversees/sponsors CMSP and they probably want to ensure that program can continue to cover lane sharing in their program.

This would do more than that.  It would codify their guidelines into law though an amendment to the Vehicle Code.  They would cease to be guidelines and become law, granted with more leeway than the original guidelines allowed.

While I get the idea behind it I dislike seeing people wanting everything we do turned into a law in a book.  Our law system is already so complex no one can possibly know if they're actually breaking a law on a daily basis.  Soon it may be law to require us to take x number of breaths per minute or face a misdemeanor charge lol.
