have to ask. If this is not acceptable, I think the next solution is to
install a new electrical outlet under the sink...


That is the better and maybe easier solution. GFCI outlet.


Personally, I don't know that I would go to the expense and trouble as
GFCI is not required under a kitchen sink for a garbage disposal by most
NEC versions being used that I'm aware, and it is not really necessary
in that application.

YMMV ....


Interesting that it wouldn't be required given the likely potential for
leaks and water when people are under there repairing stuff. Either way,
I tend to go overboard with those things. I don't mind the cost given
their benefit.
