My state too allows for vehicles to pass cyclists on a solid yellow when it can be assertained that nothing is coming the other way. Big difference in how much room is needed to pass something moving at less than 25 mph than another vehicle moving at 50 mph or better. I'm sure you are well aware of that, but I included that for the masses.

Not sure why this same thing doesn't apply for when passing other slow moving vehicles. Maybe it does and I've just not noticed.
I just read this morning that Oregon is working on clearing this up somewhat. Oregon Senate bill seeks to strengthen bicycle passing law – BikePortland
