Each record gives the period in the statute's own words, the citation, a link to the state's official code site, a verbatim quote, and the date read; where the same text says so, it adds whether the period runs from discovery and any outer limit (statute of repose). Where the official code could not be read, a cell may come from a court opinion that quotes or applies the statute; it is marked S (secondary) and names the court, case and date. Cells with neither are marked U and left blank. No calculator and no deadline arithmetic: tolling and exceptions apply.","key":"jurisdiction","count":255,"keys":[{"key":"AK","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/AK.json","records":5},{"key":"AL","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/AL.json","records":5},{"key":"AR","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/AR.json","records":5},{"key":"AZ","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/AZ.json","records":5},{"key":"CA","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/CA.json","records":5},{"key":"CO","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/CO.json","records":5},{"key":"CT","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/CT.json","records":5},{"key":"DC","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/DC.json","records":5},{"key":"DE","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/DE.json","records":5},{"key":"FL","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/FL.json","records":5},{"key":"GA","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/GA.json","records":5},{"key":"HI","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/HI.json","records":5},{"key":"IA","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/IA.json","records":5},{"key":"ID","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/ID.json","records":5},{"key":"IL","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/IL.json","records":5},{"key":"IN","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/IN.json","records":5},{"key":"KS","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/KS.json","records":5},{"key":"KY","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/KY.json","records":5},{"key":"LA","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/LA.json","records":5},{"key":"MA","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/MA.json","records":5},{"key":"MD","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/MD.json","records":5},{"key":"ME","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/ME.json","records":5},{"key":"MI","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/MI.json","records":5},{"key":"MN","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/MN.json","records":5},{"key":"MO","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/MO.json","records":5},{"key":"MS","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/MS.json","records":5},{"key":"MT","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/MT.json","records":5},{"key":"NC","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/NC.json","records":5},{"key":"ND","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/ND.json","records":5},{"key":"NE","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/NE.json","records":5},{"key":"NH","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/NH.json","records":5},{"key":"NJ","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/NJ.json","records":5},{"key":"NM","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/NM.json","records":5},{"key":"NV","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/NV.json","records":5},{"key":"NY","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/NY.json","records":5},{"key":"OH","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/OH.json","records":5},{"key":"OK","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/OK.json","records":5},{"key":"OR","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/OR.json","records":5},{"key":"PA","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/PA.json","records":5},{"key":"RI","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/RI.json","records":5},{"key":"SC","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/SC.json","records":5},{"key":"SD","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/SD.json","records":5},{"key":"TN","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/TN.json","records":5},{"key":"TX","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/TX.json","records":5},{"key":"UT","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/UT.json","records":5},{"key":"VA","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/VA.json","records":5},{"key":"VT","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/VT.json","records":5},{"key":"WA","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/limitations/jurisdictions/WA.json","records":5},{"key":
