Yes. With respect to California, there is a book which goes into depth about the failings of the California initiative process. All weaknesses identified are addressed mainly by three provisions of the Citizens Legislative Procedures Act:

• Qualification by Public Opinion Poll of Citizens (Act, 3-F-2)
• Deliberative Committee (Act, 3-I)
• Campaign Financing (Act, 3-P)

See our comparison to state initiative law for a more detailed discussion.
