The NPV only needs states with 61 more electoral votes. In 7 states totaling 74 votes it has already passed half their legislatures (state house or senate but not both). So it's actually a lot closer than starting from scratch with a constitutional amendment, which would need approval from 3/4 of all states.

Any idea which states might fit the bill?

I don't remember offhand but if you are interested the site I linked lists the 17 states where it has passed, and the 7 states where it has passed half of their legislature.
