     (a) That rejection is valid and binding as to all levels of coverage and on all persons who might have otherwise been insured under such coverage; and

     (b) The insurer is not required to include personal injury protection coverage in any supplemental, renewal, or replacement policy unless a named insured subsequently requests such coverage in writing.
