Either way can be used, though some unsaid rules do apply. It is usually left uncapitalized when referring commonly to it, such as "My sister is on a trip to the state of Alabama. It is usually capitalized in governmental and law-related documents, such as "The legislature of the State of Alabama hereby decrees that the Yellowhammer is its state bird." So in reality, it depends on the context.
