Black's Law Dictionary

A rider or rider-roll, signifies a schedule or small piece of parchment annexed to some part of a roll or record. It is frequently familiarly used for any kind of a schedule or writing annexed to a document which cannot well be incorporated in the body of such document. Thus, in passing bllls through a legislature, when a new clause is added after the bill has passed through committee, such new clause is termed a "rider."
