A new dwelling has an attached two-bay garage. Under 2023 NEC 210.11(C)(4), which circuit arrangement is required for the receptacles required by 210.52(G)(1)?
- AAn adjacent bedroom’s existing 15-ampere circuit
- BThe required laundry circuit
- At least one 120-volt, 20-ampere garage circuit; outdoor receptacles may also be supplied
- DAny 15-ampere circuit, provided all garage lighting shares it

Why C is correct
The required garage receptacles need the stated 20-ampere circuit. The outdoor-receptacle exception applies. The separate exception allowing other equipment in a single-bay garage does not apply to this two-bay case. Additional circuits of at least 15 amperes may serve garage receptacles beyond those required by 210.52(G)(1); that permission does not replace the required circuit.
