In all cases arising under articles 40 to 47 of this title prior to July 1, 1987, the employee, the employer, and, if insured, the insurance carrier may elect, upon unanimous agreement, in writing to waive vocational rehabilitation which was awarded pursuant to section 8-49-101 as it existed prior to July 1, 1987, and become subject to the permanent partial disability provisions pursuant to section 8-42-110, as said section existed prior to July 1, 1991. Such election shall be made in a form prescribed by the director and shall not affect payments made prior to the filing of such agreement. Failure to agree to the options available under the provisions of this section shall not be evidence of bad faith in any future litigation by either party.
