In the 3 US states I've lived in, always pass on the left has been a "rule of thumb" but has never been illegal. So long as the right lane is a legal travel lane.

Huh. I thought it was a law in CA, which it technically is... but with exceptions for highways with two or more lanes in each direction.

It's illegal here in Massachusetts.

It's legal on highways, e.g. "any roadway on which traffic is restricted to one direction of movement"

I lived in Massachusetts for 3 years and routinely passed people on the right, sometimes even in the breakdown lane if it was open for traffic.
