Local amendment on §210.8 for the NEC 2023 NW Indiana jurisdiction.

Plain-English explainer

The NW Indiana amendment to §210.8 is additive: GFCI protection in NW Indiana also applies to dwelling-unit wet-bar sinks and any receptacle within 6 ft of a washing-machine supply, on top of the NEC 2023 list. The drafter cites it for residential rewires in Lake / Porter / LaPorte counties.

Why inspectors flag this

A NW Indiana red-tag at the rough-in will list this amendment if the wet-bar or laundry circuit is missing a GFCI device; the drafter surfaces the rule so the spec adds the extra GFCIs.
