                          STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
    
                                 RS 07724
    
    Idaho Code, §72-442, provides that under certain circumstances and 
    in certain cases an employee shall not receive compensation if 
    injury is due to employee's fault. The Idaho Workers' Compensation 
    Act is a "no fault" system and the repeal of §72442, is consistent 
    with this intent. Truly wilful self-exposure, as opposed to 
    negligence, is addressed in §72-208 (1), Wilful Intention.
    
                               FISCAL NOTE
    
    None.
