Predecessors of the Parliament of Georgia were the National Council (May 1918 October 1918), the Parliamentary Assembly (provisional) (19181919), the Constituent Assembly (19191921), the Parliament (1921), the Supreme Soviet of the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic (19211990) and the Supreme Council of the Republic of Georgia (19901992).

The maximum remuneration of the chairperson is 13,000 lari per month.[3]

The chairperson of the Parliament becomes the acting president of Georgia if the president vacates the office before the expiration of their term due to death, resignation or removal from office. Nino Burjanadze is the only speaker to have served as acting president, she did so on two occasions: after the resignation of President Eduard Shevardnadze in 2003 and after President Mikhail Saakashvili briefly left office and called an early election due to political unrest.
