What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
I received a DUI in 2006, while away in Ohio at college. I plead no contest to the class B Misdemeanor. I have run background checks on myself several times and had two employers run backgrounds check, fortunately for me, the DUI has never shown up. This charge constantly worries me when I have to submit to background checks for loans, jobs, etc. Is there a time period where I will no longer have to report it? I have heard that a background check agency might uncover misdemeanors, but can’t report them to the employer if they are more than seven years old. Is this true? Does it vary by state? If so, is it the law of the state you committed the crime or the one you currently live in? I know DUI’s show up on DMV and criminal checks, so are there separate time statues for each one? I just want to know when I can rest assured that I can complete a background check without this showing up.
I know this is a ton of questions in one posting, but I would appreciate any answers.
