At the end of title III, add the following:

SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO BACK PAY
FOR WRONGFULLY REMOVED FEDERAL EMPLOYEES.

The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate
may revise the allocations of a committee or committees,
aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution,
and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, for one or
more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between
the Houses, motions, or conference reports relating to
providing back pay to any individual who a court finds was
wrongfully removed from a position of Federal employment
because that individual refused to execute an illegal order
by the amounts provided in such legislation for those
purposes, provided that such legislation would not increase
the deficit over the period of the total of fiscal years 2025
through 2034.
