Chicago Suspends Collection of Bag Tax During Coronavirus Pandemic – ABC7 (Chicago)

Individuals who buy paper or plastic bags at Chicago grocery stores will still have to pay a 7-cent bag tax; the city won't be collecting the taxes from stores until the end of April. A spokesperson said waiving the fee altogether would require legislative action.

Great idea from the Democrat Department of Taxing and Screwing the Public. Ban re-usable bags for grocery shopping then tax those same people for the bags that are needed to carry groceries home. Never pass up an opportunity to dig deeper in the pockets of citizens.
