Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia

I am originally from Connecticut however I recently relocated to Virginia. I have a felony record that is 9 years old. I know that in CT the record has to be 7-10 years old before certain companies can consider hiring an individual. I went to a job interview yesterday here in VA at a secutity company and they told me that in VA the record has to be 18-20 years old. I want to know if that is indeed true.

In other words, there is no set rule for such hiring and it is likely a matter of individual company policy(in my opinion).
