Yes, but the type of crime committed and how recently it was committed play a significant factor into how states issue Hazardous Material Endorsements (HMEs) on a commercial driver's license (CDL). The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) evaluates a candidate's potential risk to national security before issuing the driver an HME. However, the TSA will not consider any waiver or appeal for a limited category of crimes including terrorism, espionage, sedition, or treason.

Not in Oklahoma, nor in any state or territory of the US. Beginning in 2005, applicants for the hazmat endorsement are required to pass a TSA background check. If your felony is only a felony at state level, and is not a federal felony, it may be possible to apply for relief of disability in order for you to be able to get a hazmat endorsement. If your felony is a federal felony, there exists no mechanism to do this.

Can a felon get hazmat in North Carolina?

A felon cannot get a hazmat endorsement anywhere in the US. This is a federal matter, and does not vary between states. Beginning in 2005, a TSA background check and fingerprinting became required for a hazmat endorsement. This was in response to both the September 11th attacks and the theft of two propane tankers (later recovered) in Texas which were feared to have been stolen for the purpose of a terrorist attack (although someone who'll steal a propane tanker isn't likely to care about having an endorsement or not).
