Half Bath/Laundry Room wiring

Yes. The laundry room is on the list of rooms that need a dedicated circuit (other than the dryer circuit). And yes, a half bath is also included on that list.

They must be separate dedicated circuits, of course.

Laundry room gets a circuit.

Half bath gets a circuit. (a circuit that serves *only* bathroom *receps* can serve more than one bathroom, though that's not a good idea if women are around

Even though they are the same room, there has to be separate circuits? So, I can't come off the 20 AMP washer outlet with a GFCI 3 feet away for the sink?

I basically converted a small full bath into a laundry/bath by removing the old tub and putting the washer/dryer in place of the tub. The bath only had 14/2 running to it originally. I ran 14/2 to the lights and wanted to run one 12/2 to the washer and sink (GFCI)...

If the sink is a bathroom sink, no. If it's a laundry room sink, that may be a different story.
