Colorado tried a few years back. Vermont has made the effort over the years. Not aware of any successful ones, but like anything else it's a process and requires raising awareness/changing understanding before you'll get a ballot initiative through.

There were some elements of CO's proposal that I really liked.

Edit: It's not entirely dead but they're definitely not there yet.
