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.

In 1978 the code required GFCI protected outlets to be in garages, outside,
bathrooms, and possibly unfinished basements. I would look in all those
locations for the protecting GFCI outlet
