I get the idea but the point of our system isn't to govern by ballot initiative. The practical outcome of that kind of restriction is that pretty much any new law is going to be held up by faux initiatives. Legislature considering a police reform bill? Every FOP in the state would gather signatures for a ballot question to neuter the issue. You'd basically neuter the government in favor of a less efficient method that isn't even guaranteed to get the best results.
