It appears that the person who received the check that was not honored has three years to bring a law suit to recover based on the check. There may also be other causes of action which can ignore the check and go to the underlying contract or agreement. This may have a different statute of limitations
STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS (IN YEARS)
3 Years, unless combined with a recent check. If the very last check was written 3 years ago, then you are fine.
It will vary based on the type of debt. Written agreements, including Promissory notes are set at 6 years in Utah. Oral agreements and open ended accounts (credit cards) are set at 4 years.

Yes, bad checks can be subjected to a statute of limitations. It will depend on the jurisdiction. It can also depend on the amount of the check. Both criminal charges and the debt associated with it can be subject to different limits.
It will depend on the level of crime that is charged for the check. In Alabama a misdemeanor is set at 12 months. For a felony it is set at 3 years. The statute is met once an indictment or warrant is issued, regardless of whether it can be served immediately or not.
