In Washington State we undergo Washington State Patrol background checks every two years. For years they only checked the Washington State data banks, but now check the NCIC data bank. The result of the additional scruitiny was seen in our local baseball association. A member who had a child abuse conviction in Idaho but had been "clean" in Washington was denied membership.
Teachers, including coaches who are teachers, are fingerprinted and subjected a more rigorous background check.
However, I'm not sure if coaches who are not teachers are subjected to any background check.
