Florida, Kentucky, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma and Wisconsin do not apply any residency requirements to determine whether to borrow another state’s statute of limitation. In cases filed in these jurisdictions, even if the plaintiff and defendant are residents of the state in which the suit is filed, courts will apply the limitation period of the state in which the borrower lived during the creation of the debt to determine whether suit is timely filed.
I think that is may be referring to:
Limitations on actions originating in other states.
516.190. Whenever a cause of action has been fully barred by the laws of the state, territory or country in which it originated, said bar shall be a complete defense to any action thereon, brought in any of the courts of this state.

Under Article 3, 1-21
§ 1‑21. Defendant out of State; when action begun or judgment enforced.
If when the cause of action accrues or judgment is rendered or docketed against a person, he is out of the State, action may be commenced, or judgment enforced within the times herein limited after the return of the person into this State, and if, after such cause of action accrues or judgment is rendered or docketed, such person departs from and resides out of this State, or remains continuously absent therefrom for one year or more, the time of his absence shall not be a part of the time limited for the commencement of the action or the enforcement of the judgment. Provided, that where a cause of action arose outside of this State and is barred by the laws of the jurisdiction in which it arose, no action may be maintained in the courts of this State for the enforcement thereof, except where the cause of action originally accrued in favor of a resident of this State.
The provisions of this section shall not apply to the extent that a court of this State has or continues to have jurisdiction over the person under the provisions of G.S. 1‑75.4. (C.C.P., s. 41; 1881, c. 258, ss. 1, 2; Code, s. 162; Rev., s. 366; C.S., s. 411; 1955, c. 544; 1979, c. 525, s. 1.)
