Here is what Maryland says about the legalities of owning or possesing sugar gliders in Maryland. On top of this info you also must be USDA licensed in order to sell, or even give away a sugar glider.. At the bottom is a link check it out it has the urls to contact each state regarding the legalities as well as actual emails I have recieved from some states. It also has the USDA care page to contact an agent in your area.

As you stated in your email, as of July, 1998, sugar gliders are
legal to be possessed in Maryland without a permit. Certain counties
may place restrictions on sugar gliders, so you should check with
your local animal control facility before obtaining one.
Also, a permit would be required from the U.S. Department of
Agriculture in order to sell sugar gliders in Maryland.
