   In Magento 1.5
   #1 copy app/code/core/Mage/Directory/Helper to local folder
   l/app/code/local/Mage/Directory/

   #2 in Data.php

   replace getRegionJson with code below

   public function getRegionJson()
   {
   $exclude_regions = array (‘AL’,'NJ’,'NY’,'CT’,'AS’,'AK’,'AA’,'AC’,'AE’,'AK’,'AM’,'AP’,'FM’,'GU’,'HI’,'MH’,'MP’,'PW’,'PR’,'VI’,'AF’);

   Varien_Profiler::start(‘TEST: ‘.__METHOD__);
   if (!$this->_regionJson) {
   $cacheKey = ‘DIRECTORY_REGIONS_JSON_STORE’.Mage::app()->getStore()->getId();
   if (Mage::app()->useCache(‘config’)) {
   $json = Mage::app()->loadCache($cacheKey);
   }
   if (empty($json)) {
   $countryIds = array();
   foreach ($this->getCountryCollection() as $country) {
   $countryIds[] = $country->getCountryId();
   }
   $collection = Mage::getModel(‘directory/region’)->getResourceCollection()
   ->addCountryFilter($countryIds)
   ->load();
   $regions = array();
   foreach ($collection as $region) {

   $rg = $region->getCode();

   //if ($rg!=’AL’){
   if(!in_array($rg, $exclude_regions)) {

   if (!$region->getRegionId()) {
   continue;
   }
   $regions[$region->getCountryId()][$region->getRegionId()] = array(
   ‘code’ => $region->getCode(),
   //’name’ => $region->getName()
   ‘name’ => $this->__($region->getName())
   );
   }

   }
   $json = Mage::helper(‘core’)->jsonEncode($regions);

   if (Mage::app()->useCache(‘config’)) {
   Mage::app()->saveCache($json, $cacheKey, array(‘config’));
   }
   }
   $this->_regionJson = $json;
   }

   Varien_Profiler::stop(‘TEST: ‘.__METHOD__);
   return $this->_regionJson;
   }
