I'm not sure what you're asking: there is no such thing as a statute of limitations on a conviction, the SOL refers to the time that can go by before you are accused. For instance if someone broke into your house 21 years ago, it may be too late to accuse them of doing so. As soon as an arrest or accusation is acted upon the statue of limitations no longer applies, and the courts can take as long as they need to to try the case.

No there is not, except for juvenile records which are customarily closed at about your 18th birthday. Your criminal history record is permanent, unless you request that a particular offense be expunged.
