Yes, there is a statute of limitation on "issuance of bad check." The statute of limitation is 2 years for a misdemeanor and "issuance of bad check" is a misdemeanor. The DA would know this. Therefore when your friend is served with the paper, he needs to take a look at the papers to see what those papers are for.
