The Washington State Supreme Court did this with education funding in the McCleary case. They found that the legislature was failing in fulfilling the constitutional mandate to fund public education as the state’s “paramount duty” and so imposed fines on the legislature until they “fixed the bug.”
The court wouldn’t actually say what they wanted, just that the status quo was unacceptable. This resulted in many rounds of funding changes and court rejections until the last attempt, which largely removed local school funding, instead putting almost all of the funding into one statewide pot to be redistributed with equal funding per student.
