A little confused; unless your sentence about California is unrelated to your first paragraph, that doesn't make sense. I live in California and I have outlets

A little confused; unless your sentence about California is unrelated to your first paragraph, that doesn't make sense. I live in California and I have outlets near my bathroom sinks, but there are no circuit breakers in the room. (The outlets are GFCI.)
I've definitely seen homes here with outlets near the toilet as well, with no extra safety devices beyond GFCI.
(And a quick search suggests that building code requires an outlet within 3 feet of every wash basin.)
If you are not talking about California, then... bummer; that level of restriction seems entirely unnecessary for safety.
- mixmastamyk 1y agoGFCI is another circuit breaker. Approx. no one knows this acronym. So if you know electrical jargon you certainly know this. As mentioned in this thread I forgot the word ‘normal’ as in standard outlets are not allowed.
