GNU Free Documentation License What is the law in Florida for hiring and criminal records? Q. I want to know how far back the state of Florida can go to trace a criminal background. Is there a limit?

She is coming to Florida to try to start a new life. And I was curious to find out if anyone knew how far back they look when applying for a job. Thanks for anyone's help! Really appreciate it!

Tell her to quit looking for work in large companies and quit telling her future bosses about her felony, Especially if it is a small business and a low paying job, small companies just do not bother to pay to check employees backgrounds like that. The only problem she would have would be if she gets in the company and then does a lousy job.
