Seems to me this article is aimed at the national government?! Basically, this is a popular initiative. It's a mechanism in Switzerland through which the citizen can submit their own proposals for constitutional amendments, which the people then vote on and is binding when accepted. Usually this is used in the manner seen here, where the constitutional amendment requires the government to enact certain legislation. Ultimately any legislation to come of this will be subjected to a referendum if people care about it enough. So I'm not too worried personally.
