The HDP, which believes the bill is aimed at suppressing dissent against the AKP government of president Recep Tayyip Erdogan, walked out of the constitutional committee meeting after the brawl.
One legislator was left with a dislocated shoulder.
Footage shot by a journalist sitting in on the sessions shows lawmakers throwing punches at each other amidst the heated debate.
The proposal, which was prepared after Erdogan accused the HDP of being an arm of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), was later approved by the committee.
The meeting took place after a previous session on April 28 was postponed when it descended into a fistfight.
