It depends when the bathroom was wired, as to what code was in affect.
Current and recent codes allow receptacles in all bathrooms to be on a
dedicated 20 amp circuit and no other outlets can be on that circuit, or all
lights , fans , outlets etc of one bathroom can be on a dedicated circuit

If I understand the code correctly, there needs to be a gfi receptical
on a dedicated circuit. I have a situation where lights in my
bathrooms also must be gfi protected. So I guess I'm just looking for
an explanation of why this code of a dedicated circuit exists. My
study of the code finds contradicting info due to lack of explanation.

Please advise & thanks for your time.
