საქართველოს საკანონმდებლო მაცნე (Legislative Herald of Georgia)

Maintains the text in force

The official gazette and consolidated statute book of Georgia, a legal entity under public law under the Ministry of Justice. Every instrument lives at matsne.gov.ge/ka/document/view/<id>: laws, organic laws, Government resolutions, presidential decrees and ministerial orders, each page opening with a metadata block that gives the document number, the issuing body, the date of issue, the source and date of publication, the date of entry into force and the registration code, then listing every consolidated publication by date with its own publication index. Above the body of each page the site states which edition is being shown: კონსოლიდირებული ვერსია (საბოლოო) means the final consolidation, and a different line means it is not. Amending instruments are published separately and in full, each citing the registration code of the act it amends, so a schedule whose consolidation is paywalled can still be reconstructed from the original plus the amendments. Renders through Firecrawl without difficulty, including million-character statutes: the Georgian Tax Code comes back at 1,190,393 characters.

Maintains the current text of the law as amended, so you can read a provision as it stands today rather than reconstructing it from amendments.

Cannot be cited for

Three things it must not be cited for. First, it is not free for everything: for some Government resolutions - resolution No 255 of 5 June 2015 on visa-free entry, and resolution No 36 of 21 February 2013 on universal health care - the site serves only the text as originally published and prints დოკუმენტის კონსოლიდირებული ვარიანტის ნახვა ფასიანია, that viewing the consolidated version is a paid service requiring registration and the purchase of a viewing right. A reading of such a page is a reading of the original, however many consolidations have followed, and must be labelled as one. Second, it publishes the consolidated law and not the reasoning: no explanatory memorandum, no case law, no ministerial guidance, and a great deal of Georgian immigration and tax practice sits in orders of the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Internal Affairs which it holds but which are not linked from the parent act. Third, the Georgian pages are the law and the English pages at the matching address are not the same document - see ge-matsne-en. Pages render statutes inside HTML tables, so stored text carries table pipes and <br> markers around the publisher's own words.

Publication rhythm

Continuous. A consolidation is published within days of an amending law: the Tax Code took its 246th consolidation on 30 September 2026 and had taken four in 2026 by June. Georgian amending laws cluster in the parliamentary sessions ending in late June and mid-December.

Re-check triggers

late June or mid-December, when the two Georgian parliamentary sessions pass their amendment packages · the consolidation list on a document we cite gains a date later than the one we read · a Government resolution amending Resolution No 255 of 5 June 2015 appears, which changes the visa-free schedule · an order of the Minister of Finance under article 34(6) of the Tax Code, which carries the high net worth individual thresholds we could not read · an order of the Minister of Internal Affairs on recognising foreign driving licences under article 58(7) of the Law on Road Traffic
