It's essentially a proposition to repeal a law passed by the legislature. Obviously the legislature doesn't like it, or the original law wouldn't have passed. If it wasn't essentially unmodifiable then the legislature would just annul it via amendment. There didn't need to be a measure allowing to be amended by the legislature at all, the 7/8th requirement is just in there to allow the legislature to do non-contentious fixup changes.
