Also required

Not registry lookups; ezOIG doesn't run these
  • Fingerprint-supported state and FBI background check through the Kentucky National Background Check Program (KARES), obtained by the qualified agency on each potential attendant (910 KAR 1:090 Sections 8(1)(m), 8(2)(a), 11(6); 906 KAR 1:190)
  • No attendant with a felony for theft or drugs, or a misdemeanor or felony for sexual or violent offences (910 KAR 1:090 Section 8(2)(b))

Why some registries are not screened yet

The registry blocks automated access
The registry's website turns away automated lookups. We don't work around that, so for now your staff search it themselves.
The registry's terms forbid automated searches
The registry's terms, or the law behind it, rule out automated or third-party searches, so ezOIG doesn't run them.
Checked by request to the agency
The agency answers a written request or form rather than an online search.
