Hello,
Based on the information we have, Florida is on the 2017 NEC. Information about which edition of the NEC a particular state has adopted can be found at https://www.nema.org/docs/default-source/technical-document-library/nec-adoption-map.pdf The requirements for GFCI protecxtion in dwelling units are found in Section 210.8(A). The requirements for AFC protection in dwelling units are found in Section 210.12(A).
For any state or local amendments to the NEC rules, we recommend contacting the local authority having jurisdiction.
