Correct. Do not confuse the certification "Licensed Penetration Tester" with a government recognized licensure program. However the potential exists for someone in the proper position to take an existing certification program, and submit it for consideration as a sanctioned license to conduct forensic investigations. The credential must have several components, minimum requirements of eligibility, an exam that can validly evaluate the candidates knowledge and skill, a practical component to obtaining the certification, a code of conduct, and a continuing education requirement.

If you aren't licensed as an Investigator in the state, you can be charged with a felony if the law passes. I can't find a link, but I swear I read this a couple days ago.
