The Department of Justice has announced that it lodged a proposed Consent Decree with the District Court of the Southern District of New York, involving a lawsuit against Toyota Motor Corporation and others. The case is about violations of emission-defect reporting regulations under the Clean Air Act. Under the proposed agreement, Toyota will pay $180 million and agree to injunctive relief. The public can comment on this agreement within 30 days of the notice publication by contacting the Assistant Attorney General and referring to the case details provided.
Simple Explanation
The government is asking Toyota to pay $180 million because they didn't follow some air pollution rules, and people can tell the government what they think about this decision. Toyota also has to do certain things to fix the problem, but the document doesn't say exactly how they'll do that or how it will be checked.
