"The 2014 National Electrical Code®(NEC®) will require new and renovated dwellings to have tamper-resistant (TR) receptacles."

Actually TR, (Tamper-Resistant), receptacles have been required for new installs since the 2008 NEC Code Edition.
NEC 2011 NEC and NEC 2014 have expanded the wording and requirements.
2008 NEC 406.11
Section 406.11 in the 2008 NEC reads, "406.11 Tamper-Resistant Receptacles in Dwelling Units. In areas specified in 210.52, all 125-volt, 15- and 20-ampere receptacles shall be listed tamper-resistant receptacles." Based on the new text, tamper-resistant, 15- and 20-ampere, 125-volt receptacles must be installed for all specified areas in 210.52, covering such receptacles in kitchens, family rooms, dining rooms, living rooms, parlors, libraries, dens, sunrooms, bedrooms, recreation rooms, or similar rooms or areas of dwelling unit. The receptacles required for those areas specified in Section 210.52 must be tamper-resistant, and in addition, other receptacles not specifically listed in 210.52 now are required to be tamper-resistant.
