It is not illegal to post date a check in any state. What is illegal is to write a check with a lack of funds in the account. If you can be sure that the check won't get to your account before the date you have on it that is fine, but you need to be sure you have money to cover it.

In today's time, the world has forgotten the basics, do NOT count on that check being held until that date.
