What's a out of state license going to cost?

[redietz]

What I believe happened is that the Walmart clerk found a chart that shows what the non-resident fees are in each state. Apparently, Maryland DNR includes this chart to show how low their fees are compared to most other states. The clerk interpreted this chart as the list of fees to be charged to those in other states.

No, they don't they charge what other states charge Maryland residents, and have for years. See the fee table that I included above (where it says "Nonresident non-tidal license fees are equal to the fee charged a MD resident for a similar license by non-resident?s home state.")

Addendum:

This may have changed this spring. The above quoted is from following the links that I buy license from every year (I'm a resident) and is what DNR's buy-it-online site (COMPASS) still says. However, according the latest regulations book (it comes out in the spring) fees are $5/$7.50 for 3/5 day license.
