Per the California GOP Bylaws:

ARTICLE VI
Selection of Presidential Nominating Convention Delegates to Presidential Nominating Convention
Section 6.01 SELECTION OF PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATING CONVENTION DELEGATES

(A) The selection of Presidential Nominating Convention Delegates to the Republican National Convention shall be conducted as provided in Chapter 2 of Part 1 of Division 6, commencing with section 6300, of the California Elections Code; provided, however, Presidential Nominating Convention delegates and alternate Presidential Nominating Convention delegates shall be chosen by the Presidential candidate who obtained the plurality of Republican votes within each Congressional district, and, for Presidential Nominating Convention delegates and alternate Presidential Nominating Convention delegates “at large,” by the Presidential candidate who obtained the plurality of Republican votes statewide.

(B) The Chairman of the Committee shall certify the selections of Presidential Nominating Convention delegates and alternate Presidential Nominating Convention delegates made by the representatives of such Presidential candidate or candidates to the Secretary of State and to the Secretary of the Republican National Convention as required by law and by the Bylaws of the Republican National Convention. For purposes of the notification of the Chairman and Secretary, each Presidential candidate whose name appears on the March 2, 2004 Presidential primary election ballot shall identify the name and address of his or her representative who shall be authorized to identify the Presidential Nominating Convention delegates and alternate Presidential Nominating Convention delegates selected by that Presidential candidate under these Bylaws.

(C) In the event that the Republican National Convention in even-numbered years shall be concluded after the statutory deadline for certifying candidates for President and Vice President for the November election ballot who have received the nomination as a candidate for public office pursuant to California law, the Chairman of the Committee shall be empowered prior to the statutory filing deadline as set forth in Cal. [Elec.] Code Sec. 8148 to notify the Secretary of State of the nomination of the Republican candidates for President and Vice President of the United States, upon the Chairman’s determination that the Presidential nominating convention is substantially likely to nominate persons as candidates for those offices in the general election, on the basis of the following determinations:

(a) that a candidate for President has attained a sufficient number of delegate votes to assure nomination at the Republican National Convention;
(b) that the candidate for President has identified a person who will be nominated to run for the office of Vice President; and
(c) that the Republican National Convention is likely to nominate the person who is the choice of the candidate for President for the Vice Presidential nomination.​

Dunno why they didn't change that date when they amended their rules this past Feb...

From the CA Elections Code:

ELECTIONS CODE
SECTION 6460-6461

6460. Every candidate whether selected pursuant to Section 6340, or unselected as referred to in Section 6343, who wishes to have a delegation of electors pledged to his or her candidacy in accordance with the result of the presidential preference primary or who wishes to have an official California delegation at the Republican National Convention shall form a delegation in compliance with Section 6461.

6461. (a) The delegation of each candidate shall be composed as follows:

(1) Seventy-eight percent of the delegation, or the nearest whole number thereto which provides for a total number of district delegates equal to at least three times the number of congressional districts within the state, shall be composed of three delegates selected for each congressional district.

(2) The remainder of the delegation shall be composed of delegates selected at large from throughout the state. The names of the persons chosen as delegates shall be submitted to the Secretary of State, by the candidate or his or her designee, no later than 30 days before the presidential primary election for certification.​

(b) There shall be no more than one alternate per delegate. Alternates shall be appointed by the candidate or his or her designee and shall be appointed by congressional districts, the number per congressional district to be no less than three. Such alternates shall be submitted to the Secretary of State within 30 days after the primary for certification.

(c) Each delegate to the Republican National Convention shall use his or her best efforts at the convention for the party's presidential nominee candidate from California to whom the delegate has pledged support until the person is nominated for the office of President of the United States by the convention, receives less than 10 percent of the votes for nomination by the convention, releases the delegate from his or her obligation, or until two convention nominating ballots have been taken. Thereafter, each delegate shall be free to vote as he or she chooses, and no rule may be adopted by a delegation requiring the delegation to vote as a body or causing the vote of any delegate to go uncounted or unreported.
