Utah Bill for a Presidential Primary Advances

On February 8, the Utah House Government Operations Committee passed HB 204 by 8-1. It authorizes a presidential primary in future years, but does not say anything about when that primary would be, or how candidates would get on the ballot. It does seem to indicate that any qualified party that wants a presidential primary may have one. Here is the text of the bill. It is very short.

Utah had presidential primaries in all years 2000 through 2012, but in 2016 only had caucuses.
