I receive a pension from California State Teachers' Retirement System. As a nonresident of California, should I be paying income tax to California?

I have not lived in California since May 30, 2013 and am a full time resident of Montana. I do receive other pensions from University of California as well as Sutter Health, but don't understand why I'm still having to pay income tax to California. It seems that I'm getting penalized for having worked in California, retired, and moved to Montana. Can you please explain?
