It would depend on what edition is adopted into law by your state.

I know AHJ has adopted NFPA 70, NEC 2017.

For my area, its the local fire department that knows which edition of NFPA 20 is adopted. I just asked the Fire Marshall.
The NEC references NFPA 20 but that is the only relation between the NEC and NFPA 20. Each has to be legally adopted by some agency-state, city, county, fire department.

Sounds like you haven't tried the NFPA web site....
(usually the electronic version are delivered as soon as payment goes through, and you're not going to get sunday or Monday delivery of a hard-copy from anyone)

And you could easily be regulated by one version of NFPA 20, directly adpoted, while NEC compels you to also comply with a different version of NFPA 20.
