RE: Licensed Penetration Tester LPT

I believe that there are numerous questions associated
with this legislation; in some cases it appears that
the PI licensing requirement is only necessary for
those who perform forensics AND give expert witness
testimony associated with those forensics; in other
cases that is not so clear.  What I find extremely
troublesome about this is will these laws be stretched
to also impact let us say, an individual who is an ERD
expert or a web application expert who performs as an
"expert witness."

Does this mean that a company offering a
certification containing the word 
"licensed" could potentially give investigators an
inaccurate sense that 
they are permitted to carry out investigative work
while not being in 
compliance with this legislation? If the law
requires an investigator to 
be licensed then such certifications may become
misleading even if this is 
not currently the case.
