No. Federal and state returns are processed complete separately by different entities. EIC delays your federal because of PATH. PATH does not apply to state returns, and the state does not pay one bit of attention to when the IRS sends your federal refund.

Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities, There is no rule as to which one will come first or how much time there will be between their arrivals. Some states process returns quickly and some are very slow.
