"Rider Bills" are just amendments to bills.

Taking the example given elsewhere in this thread, a farm subsidy bill. If the original bill was to pay farmers 10% of their annual yield (i'm literally making this up), would an amendment that added a 2.5% tax on commodities trading of the same crops be a rider bill, or an amendment?



Yes but I think he meant rider as unrelated which in a better system would be ruled out of order.
