Constitution, Article XII, Section 1.
A. Precinct Caucuses shall be held in each even-numbered year. The State Party Central Committee shall designate the date thereof at least four eight weeks prior to the caucuses. The County Party shall designate the locations. The County Party shall designate, based upon the relative Republican strength of each precinct, the number of delegates to be elected in each individual caucus meeting. Relative Republican strength shall be calculated by aggregating the total combined county Republican votes cast at the previous election for governor/lieutenant governor, attorney general, state auditor, and state treasurer, excluding the vote for any candidate who had no opposition. Each precinct’s portion of the aggregate vote shall be calculated on a strict percentage basis, without rounding. The County Party shall give notice of each individual caucus meeting by notifying the local news media and requiring three notices to be posted in the precinct. Each individual caucus shall be open to any Utah citizen who resides in the precinct, who will be at least 18 by the time of that year’s general election. The State Party, through its Bylaws, may restrict participation and voting in the precinct caucuses based on party affiliation. The caucus shall convene at 7:00 p.m.
The term, State Party, is ambiguous.
The term, State Central Committee, is specific.
This change more clearly affixes responsibility for setting the date of the precinct caucuses.

It also requires an additional four weeks of notice, which is important to ensure good attendance.
