In New York, the charges have to disappear from receipts within 90 days of capacity limits going away. But Chicago's Business Affairs and Consumer Protection office said businesses can continue those surcharges as long as two rules are followed: one, the price increase must be disclosed prior to purchase, and two, businesses cannot claim that this surcharge is a tax.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
