In Georgia, background checks for gun purchases are conducted through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), which typically reviews criminal history records and other relevant information. Georgia does not have a specific law mandating a longer look-back period for background checks; instead, the checks generally focus on current legal prohibitions, such as felony convictions or mental health adjudications. Therefore, the look-back period effectively aligns with the availability of relevant criminal records, which can vary based on state and federal laws.

In Minnesota, background checks typically review criminal history for the past seven years.

Some states have rules about the length of the employers "look-back" but in reality, the information is out there as a public record, and they can research your adult record for as far back as they wish.
I think that it all depends on the state, and what the statutes are. In the state of Minnesota, if you have had prior felony convictions, you can have bail set at the arraingment hearing. If you mean, convicted of a felony and then asking for bail or bond to be set, I also belive that it depends on the crime, flee possibilities before actual sentencing and what you are actually looking at as far as time to be served in either Jail or Prison.
In Kentucky, a criminal background check typically goes back 7 years for employment purposes.
