Rep. Vernon Smith introduced HB 1423 which would appear to legislate what ended up happening anyway in Lake County in the 2008 election.

This effectively allowed citizens of Lake County to vote in those three other cities in the same way they could have if they had traveled to the clerk’s office in Crown Point.
