Bathroom receptacle circuits

[Pitt123]

I thought I saw somewhere once that a bathroom receptacle circuit can not serve any other loads such as lighting in the bathroom. Similar to the required branch circuit in a laundry room that cannot server any other loads including lighting.

Is this true for bathrooms as well.

In 210.11(C)(3) does each bathroom require a dedicated branch circuit or does this just say at a mimum one is required in a dwelling?

210.11(C)(3) and its exception give you a choice:

• Supply anything you want within a single bathroom (receptacles, light, fan, whatever). But if you do this, then that circuit cannot supply anything outside that one bathroom.
• Supply receptacles in two or more bathrooms from the same circuit. But if you do that, then this circuit cannot supply anything other than bathroom receptacles.

Well said.

Now, if we could only get the NEC to be as clear and concise.
