What the record establishes
A consent decree shut the programme down nationwide, required annual antitrust-compliance reporting and required a $2.25 million payment. The matter was resolved through a simultaneously filed complaint and decree rather than a contested liability judgment. The payment is excluded from penalty totals because the state did not characterise it as a fine or civil penalty.
