Georgian protesters opposing a "foreign influence" bill tried to break down metal barriers near parliament after the legislation was passed on Tuesday.
Some were detained by police after the 84-30 vote, AP reports.
The bill has sparked weeks of mass protests, with critics seeing it as a Russian-style threat to free speech and the country's aspirations to join the European Union.
The bill requires media, non-governmental organizations and other non-profit groups to register as "in pursuit of the interests of a foreign power" if they receive more than 20% of their funding from abroad.
The government says the bill is needed to curb what it considers harmful foreign actors trying to destabilize politics in the country.
The opposition has denounced the bill as a "Russian law" because Moscow uses similar legislation to crack down on independent news media, non-profit organizations and activists critical of the Kremlin.
