How far back do they check act 33 clearances?

Act 33 clearances, which pertain to the background checks for individuals working with children in Pennsylvania, typically check criminal history and child abuse history. The checks generally look back to any relevant criminal activity or child abuse reports, regardless of how long ago they occurred. This means that there is no specific time limit on how far back the checks can go; all pertinent offenses are considered. However, the specific requirements and policies may vary based on the organization or agency requesting the clearance.
