Try this:
var FSO = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

var inputFile = FSO.OpenTextFile(Watch.GetJobFileName(),1);
var outputFiles = {};
var stateProv = "";
var line="";

// Eliminate header line
line = inputFile.ReadLine();

while (!inputFile.AtEndOfStream) {
  line      = inputFile.ReadLine();
  stateProv = line.split(",")[7];
  // Check if property exists, otherwise create it and assign newly created file handle to it
  if(!outputFiles[stateProv]){
    outputFiles[stateProv] = FSO.CreateTextFile("C:\\Tests\\Output\\" + stateProv + ".txt");
  }
  outputFiles[stateProv].WriteLine(line);
}

//Close all files
for(var i in outputFiles) outputFiles[i].Close();
