electricians code question

Here we go.. So I am Remodeling my Kitchen Via a contractor , I did the kitchen rip out , while waiting for the Job to start my wife wanted new outlets . so I change all GFCI and Outlets , only to find out under code they need to Be Tamper Resistant . WTF so I re do everything to
the TR code required Plugs and GFI All 20A..

Now they are telling me I also need to also Add a gfci arc breaker to each circuit at 60 bucks a piece .. to what I already did

this seems like pilling on.. But I can not find the MA CMR laying this out

anyone here know the answer ?


But it seems may contractor seemed to think did not need to upgrade by 25 year old beat up outlets . and didn't factor in that cost even with my contract and is giving me a line of BS

even with the contract saying Modify electrical to meet code and accommodate layout
