We analyse the pure Chern-Simons theory on an Euclidean infinite lattice. We point out that, as a consequence of its symmetries, the Chern-Simons theory does not have an integrable kernel. Due to the linearity of the action in the derivatives, the situation is very similar to the one arising in the lattice formulation of fermionic theories. Doubling of bosonic degrees of freedom is removed by adding a Maxwell term with a mechanism similar to the one proposed by Wilson for fermionic models.

Lattice chiral non-Abelian gauge symmetry via bosonization
Proposes a bosonized lattice construction of anomaly-free 2D non-Abelian chiral gauge theories in which left and right bulk contributions cancel at finite spacing when quadratic indices match.
