On February 3, Mamuka Mdinaradze, the parliamentary majority leader of the ruling Georgian Dream (GD), announced legislative changes aimed at increasing sanctions for various administrative and criminal offenses, including insulting officials, assaulting police officers, and threatening public servants.

Mdinaradze stated that the proposed amendments are the first step in an ongoing process to replace existing regulations with norms necessary for the proper functioning and independence of the state. He emphasized that "the attempt to overthrow the government by the agents of the ‘Deep State’ continues" and that the ruling party requires "appropriate levers and means to govern the country" and "serve the citizens." The drafted amendments include increased sanctions for administrative and criminal violations, such as banning indoor rallies without the property owner's prior consent and raising penalties for offenses like petty hooliganism, vandalism, blocking court entrances, and insulting police officers. The maximum period of administrative detention will increase from 15 to 60 days, while insulting a public official in connection with their duties will be classified as an administrative offense.

Public calls for violence, previously punishable by fines, will now carry a prison sentence of up to three years. Resisting, threatening, or using violence against police officers will be considered a serious crime, with penalties ranging from five to ten years in prison. Additionally, attacking police officers, state authorities, or their family members will carry aggravated circumstances if committed in groups, under certain conditions, or with dangerous means. The punishment for harming police officers' health will also be increased. Furthermore, Mdinaradze announced that a new criminal code would criminalize threats of attack or violence against political and state authorities, as well as public officials.

On the same day, the GD government’s press service announced that the Civil Service Bureau (CSB) will be abolished as a legal entity effective April 1, 2025. The decision was described as part of an effort "to rationalize governance and optimize expenses." However, CSB employees criticized the move, suggesting it was intended to suppress dissent within the public service. According to the government statement, the Anti-Corruption Bureau had already taken over key responsibilities such as overseeing officials’ declarations and ensuring ethics and integrity among public servants. The press release noted that since the Public Service Bureau had lost a significant portion of its original functions, its continued existence as a legal entity was deemed unnecessary. The remaining functions of the Bureau, including public administration reform coordination and managing public service vacancy announcements, will be transferred to relevant government departments.
