Massachusetts has tried to pass a lane splitting bill twice now. I don't know exactly what happened, but I've contacted the representative who sponsored the bill to see what can be done, since it hasn't been tried since 2007, and there have been some additional studies published since 2007 regarding the potential safety benefits, as well as reducing traffic congestion.

i see the benefit for sure, a motorcycle within a line of traffic is much less visible than one in front of traffic.
