A 3-prong grounded GFCI outlet would be my requirement.

Â*Â* This article is awfully old.Â* I don't know if there have been any

A GFCI is required within 6 feet of a water/moisture source,
Technically, a single GFCI can be used with other non-GFCI receptacles
piggy backing from the GFCI on that circuit, One of those receptacles
can be a 2 prong and the worse case is the GFCI will trip.
