Okay I?m having trouble getting my arms around this one. I know that a laundry room has to have one dedicated 20 amp circuit for the washer. And if that laundry room had a receptacle that was for a sink or laundry tub that too would GFI protected and a branch circuit off the dedicated 20 amp or could it be branch circuit from somewhere else?

Other receptacle can be from another circuit.

You can supply ALL the outlets in the Laundryroom with one circuit. This circuit will have no other outlets. 12/2 20 amp GRI not required unless within 6' of laundry sink.

Cavie is correct. You can put all the recps you want on the 20 amp laundry room circuit. Code requires 1 but allows more as long as they are all in the laundry room, and yes GFCIs are still required near water, even if they are on the laundry circuit.
