There is an interstate compact among all but three to five states. This compact, and I am greatly over simplifying it, provides for each compact state to report all moving violations or reportable convictions (such as DWIs) to a central databank. It also provides for direct reporting to another State if the reporting state has information that the reportee has a license from that State. The compact has been enacted in each of the 45-47 states in substantially the same form, but there are some differences from state-to-state. There are also substantial differences from state-to-state in whether and how actively they search the central database for reportable actions affecting their licensees and how thoroughly reportable incidents get reported -- and lots of reasons for each. Thus, there is never a one-size-fits-all answer to how it happens on either the reporting or the acquiring end in each state.
That said, I know that Florida is one of the worst states (from the driver's perspective) and that they actively obtain and use information from other states.
