[jquery] how to call a function from another function in Jquery

I assume you don't want to rebind the event, but call the handler.

You can use trigger() to trigger events:

$('#billing_state_id').trigger('change');

If your handler doesn't rely on the event context and you don't want to trigger other handlers for the event, you could also name the function:

function someFunction() {
    //do stuff
}

$(document).ready(function(){
    //Load City by State
    $('#billing_state_id').live('change', someFunction);   
    $('#click_me').live('click', function() {
       //do something
       someFunction();
    });
  });

Also note that live() is deprecated, on() is the new hotness.
