Heading: there is but one statutorily sanctioned method by which mandatory uninsured motorist coverage may be rejected pursuant to an original policy

Text: Pursuant to 36 O.S. 1981 § 3636(F), uninsured motorist coverage is provided within or supplemental to an original policy of insurance and may thereafter be waived by the named insured, provided such waiver is made by written rejection. The sole statutory exemption from the requirement of written rejection applies only to renewals of policies where the named insured has already supplied the insurer with a written rejection of uninsured motorist coverage pursuant to the previous policy. Title 36 O.S. 1981 § 3636 does not purport to exempt every renewal, but only such renewals as may be shown to include a previous written rejection of the mandatory uninsured motorist coverage.
