What is the name of your state?KY

I've read over and over on this forum and the internet that the SOL for an open-ended acct in KY is 5 years, but so far cannot find out where this info is coming from. Can anyone supply me with the appropriate Kentucky statute? The way some of them are worded, I feel like I need translation. Thanks,dl
