I might be wrong, but I beleive each seperate bathroom must be on its
own 20A circuit.

-----

I thought I had read or heard somewhere where some referenced the all-
mysterious "code" and said that if there was nothing else on the
circuit except the outlets, then it could be used for another
bathroom's outlet. If I put the master bath outlet, fan/light, vanity
light, etc. on that 20A circuit, I think I could not jump to the other
bathroom.

Can someone confirm?

BTW - the NEC really needs to make it easier for DIYers - I don't know
- maybe a searchable database, FAQ, knowledgebase? I know it keeps
electricians in business b/c then no one bothers & they just hire an
electrician who understands the almighty "code".

CB, let me reiterate something I said previously, Those existing bathroom
outlet circuits "are" GFCI protected. You just haven't found the one,
upstream GFCI device protecting them. There is no way anyone would have
daisy-chained bathroom outlets together like that unless the entire string
was protected by a GFCI device at the first required location

I really don't think so - the house was built in 1978. And I've
followed the line from the panel and all the way up & down & across
the house. The breaker isn't gfci and none of the outlets had a reset
button. Not sure if GFCI looked different in 1978 but nothing
appeared to me that it was GFCI.

I would test the outlets to prove my poitn, but I've already
disconnected them.
