Fortunately, California law gets it right, although too many motorists and cyclists don't get it.

For motorists and cyclists alike, the proper place to start a right turn is adjacent to the curb, which for motorists may entail merging into a bike lane and then turning. Most of the bike lanes around here have dotted demarcation lines for the final 200 feet before each driveway or intersection. Unless someone has made a mistake, bike lanes are never supposed to continue to the right of right-turn-only lanes. Space permitting, they stop and then pick up again to the left of any RTO lanes.

What confuses a lot of people is traffic side buffering of bike lanes, which further encourages motorists to turn from the right lane instead of from the curb, thereby exacerbating the risk of right hooking a cyclist.
