17         (3)  Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, in order
18  to maintain a class action seeking monetary relief, the class
19  must allege and prove actual or statutory damages. In any such
20  class action, the monetary recovery shall be limited to the

29  whether the class action claimants can prove any actual

31  to in any way limit or restrict the availability of such
