If no California state tax was withheld, you likely are not required to file the 1099-NEC with California.
This California Franchise Tax Board website states:
In general, if you are located in California and filing Form 1098, 1099, 5498, and W-2G paper information returns with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), you do not need to send a paper copy to the state. However, if you have an exception that requires you to report something differently for federal and state purposes, such as a different dollar amount, file separately with the IRS and the Franchise Tax Board (FTB).
Scroll down to 1099-NEC and the income filing requirement is the same as Federal.
