18         (2)  Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, in order
19  to maintain a class action seeking monetary relief, the class
20  must allege and prove actual or statutory damages. In any such
21  class action, the monetary recovery shall be limited to the
22  amount of actual, statutory, and punitive damages. Nothing in
23  this section shall be construed to limit or restrict the
24  ability of the Attorney General to bring a class action for
25  the recovery of statutory penalties, if otherwise authorized
26  by law. However, class action claimants may seek to obtain, if
27  appropriate, nonmonetary relief, including injunctive relief
28  and orders, declaratory relief and orders or judgments
29  enjoining wrongful conduct, or equitable relief, regardless of
30  whether the class action claimants can prove any actual
31  monetary damages. Nothing in this section shall be construed
