210.11 Branch Circuits Required. (C) (4) Garage Branch Circuits. Dwelling Units. 2017 Code Change

This is a new section added a mandate that we install a dedicated 20a circuit in the garage for receptacle outlets, when the garage has power installed.  So the outlets installed in the garage can be on this circuit, and it goes on to say in the section that it shall have no other outlets. So it can not feed outlets in other rooms only outlets in the garage.  They added an exception to allow outdoor receptacle outlets that are readily accessible to be installed on this circuit.  In 210.52(G)(1) it requires that an outlet be installed for each vehicle bay, which would allow them to be installed on this circuit.
