rider
Literally one who rides, whether on a horse or in a vehicle. In legal usage, a sheet or sheets containing written, typewritten, or printed matter, attached to an instrument and intended to be considered a part thereof, the most frequent use thereof being in contracts of insurance. A part of the policy or contract of insurance, if incorporated, attached, or referred to in the instrument in so clear a manner as to leave no doubt of the intention of the parties in such respect. 29 Am J Rev ed Ins § 268. A new and unrelated enactment or provision included in a proposed legislative measure, usually intended to "ride" or slip through. "A still more objectionable practice (than the passage of omnibus bills and logrolling) grew up, of putting what is known as a `rider' on the appropriation bills, and thus coercing the executive to approve obnoxious legislation, or bring the wheels of the government to a stop for want of funds." Commonwealth ex rel. Elkin v Barnett, 199 Pa 161, 48 A 976, 55 LRA 882.
