        "text": "Yes, Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection is required for all outlets serving countertops in kitchens, regardless of accessibility. In an accessible kitchen, these GFCI-protected outlets must still adhere to the accessible height and clear floor space requirements. The GFCI function itself is a safety standard for wet areas and is independent of, but must be combined with, accessibility guidelines for placement.",
