rider

rider
A schedule or small piece of paper reflecting an amendment, addition or endorsement annexed to some part of a contract, document, insurance policy, or record. Any kind of a schedule or writing annexed to a document which cannot well be incorporated in the body of such document. Such are deemed to be incorporated into the terms of the document.
Thus, in passing bills through a legislature, when a new clause or law is added after the bill has passed through committee, such new law or clause is termed a "rider."
Another common example of a rider is an attachment to an insurance policy that modifies the conditions of the policy by expanding or restricting its benefits or excluding certain conditions from coverage. With the use of the rider the entire document does not have to be rewritten or redrafted again
