The bill would also increase the maximum penalties for crimes committed by people who are members of outlaw motorcycle gangs and other organised crime groups.

ACT Attorney-General Gordon Ramsay said the government would introduce the bill to the Legislative Assembly on Thursday.

The opposition - which is continuing its calls for anti-consorting laws - criticised the government for spruiking the bill before making it public.

Anti-consorting laws, like the ones in place in NSW, make it illegal to habitually hang out with criminals or other people deemed to be dangerous.

Such laws have been criticised by some as violating human rights, including freedom of association and freedom of expression.

The government's move to introduce the legislation comes amid concerns of increased bikie activity in the ACT.

Mr Ramsay said the proposed laws would increase the maximum penalties for a range of offences where the offence is either committed in connection with a criminal group or while the offender is associated with a criminal group.

He said the bill also introduced new tiered offences to address more serious incidents of public disorder.

"These amendments will apply more broadly than to organised crime but will certainly impact on public order incidents involving criminal gangs," he said.

The proposed laws would allow a Magistrate to exclude people from going to licensed premises if they have engaged in violent conduct while in the company of others near any licensed premises.

Breaching an order would be an offence punishable by up to a year behind bars.

The bill would also prevent people who are involved in criminal activity, such as organised crime, from holding a liquor or construction licence.

Mr Ramsay said the government would not budge on anti-consorting laws.

"It is very clear that anti consorting laws do not work," he said.

"We will have good, targeted, well drafted legislation that ensure Canberrans are, and remain, safe."

Shadow Attorney-General Jeremy Hanson criticised the government for talking up the proposed the legislation without releasing it.

But he said the Liberals were likely to support anything that targeted organised crime.

"I make the broader point that firstly the government has not shown us or other people the details, and secondly without anti consorting laws you're never going to actually be able to solve the problem and be proactive in dealing with organised crime in this town," he said.

"If we'd had anti-consorting laws when we first called for them in 2009 many of these problems would not exist right now as they do."
