Remove the ability to add rider provisions in bills. Bills should be passed one at a time with a yes or no basis and have nothing else unrelated tied to it. This includes another separate bill. In legislative procedure, a rider is an additional provision added to a bill or other measure under the consideration by a legislature, having little connection with the subject matter of the bill. Riders are usually created as a tactic to pass a controversial provision that would not pass as its own bill. Riders are most effective when attached to an important bill, such as an appropriation bill, because to veto or postpone such a bill could delay funding to governmental programs, causing serious problems.
Prevent bad provisions from slipping in our laws!
