"Slow down and look for bicyclists. Signal your turn prior to crossing through the bike lane at the dashed striping. Yield to any bicyclist. Complete the turn from the designated right turn lane. If there is no right turn lane, after first checking to make sure that no bicyclists are present, you may enter the bike lane at the intersection or driveway."

Kitty, I interpret that as not merging into the bicycle lane prior to making the turn. It says "Signal your turn prior to
crossing through the bike lane. Completing the turn from the designated right turn lane, to me, means staying on the road and crossing through the bike land when you turn, not merging into it to make the turn. the bike lane i not "the designated right turn land."
