Proposed legislation seeks to bring more night markets to California

• Organizers of such events are currently required to apply for a permit every few months, according to Haney's office.
• Last week, San Francisco Supervisor Joel Engardio announced a one-time night market pilot in the Sunset this September.

What they're saying: "There's no constituency in California calling for more red tape and paperwork for farmers markets," Haney said in a press release. "Part of bringing culture and business back into our downtown means removing barriers and cutting through unnecessary bureaucracy."

What's next: The Sunset's night market will be Sept. 15 on Irving Street between 20th and 23rd avenues.

• Engardio's hope is to host monthly markets next year.
