Yes, but only for those portions of the Bill of Rights which have been incorporated to the states via the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses. The US Supreme Court uses a process called "selective incorporation" that applies the first eight amendments of the Bill of Rights to the states on a clause-by-clause basis as need arises, but not all amendments or clauses within amendments have been applied.
