What is the timeframe when GFI protection was required in a kitchen?

Was it different for bathrooms and outdoor receptacles?

This is just for a neighborhood discussion.


Thanks

Around 1972 they were first required for bathroom outlets. I don't remember
exactly when, but sometime later, they were required for any outlet within 6
foot of a kitchen sink, with each code change they added new locations. I do
believe that garage outlets and outside outlets came shortly after bathroom
outlets, but I could be mistaken
