German term or phrase: Verfasser

This is from an article on stem cell research in Germany.

Hiervon ausgehend soll die vom Deutschen Bundestag am 11.4. 2008 beschlossene Reform des Stammzellgesetzes in den Blick genommen werden (Abschnitt III), die aus Sicht des Verfassers letztlich erneut zu restriktiv bleibt.
My attempt:
. Section III follows on from this by examining the amendment of the Stem Cell Act that was passed by the German parliament 11/04/2008 and that has also ultimately been deemed too restrictive by some legislators

I orginally thought verfasser was lawmakers because this fit in with the context. I am now unsure and think it might be the author of the text at hand?
