Doesn't doing this require that both circuits be protected by the same

had separate OCPDs on the two legs of the multiwire duplex receptacle.
In new installations all of the devices on a yoke or strap must be
deenergized by a single switch, breaker, or pull out but that
requirement is relatively recent. There is no requirement to alter
existing circuits when the code changes.
OK, but I believe the OP was moving a split-circuit receptacle. I
would assume that this requires meeting the new code requirements.
