When a bill is attached to another unrelated bill, it is commonly referred to as a "rider." This practice allows lawmakers to pass legislation that may not have enough support to stand on its own by bundling it with a more popular or necessary bill. Riders can sometimes lead to controversial or contentious issues being passed without separate debate.
