(2) The state department shall not investigate suspected abuse, neglect, or any other suspected incident pursuant to sections 11 to 11e if the department of public health has investigative and enforcement responsibility for the incident pursuant to section 20201, 21771, or 21799a of the public health code, Act No. 368 of the Public Acts of 1978, as amended, being sections 333.20201, 333.21771, and 333.21799a of the Michigan Compiled Laws.
