Not necessarily. The BRC nor the ERC courses from the MSF do not address group riding in any way. Your state motorcycle driver's manual should address the issue, though.

Your best bet is to discuss it before hand. Bonehead said what I do when I ride with someone. One rider (usually closest to the centerline) takes off first and the second rider takes off just after keeping the staggered formation. Intersections are the most dangerous place, so you don't want to be right beside another bike through one in case an emergency swerve or brake is required.
