DREYFUS PREMIER STATE MUNICIPAL BOND FUND
FLORIDA SERIES

c/o The Dreyfus Corporation
200 Park Avenue
New York, New York 10166

Dear Shareholder:

As a shareholder of the Florida Series (the "Fund") of Dreyfus Premier State Municipal Bond Fund (the "Trust"), you are being asked to vote on an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization to allow the Fund to transfer all of its assets in a tax-free reorganization to Dreyfus Premier Municipal Bond Fund (the "Acquiring Fund"), in exchange for Class A, Class B and Class C shares of the Acquiring Fund and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of the Fund's stated liabilities. The Acquiring Fund, like the Fund, normally invests substantially all of its assets in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal income tax, but the Fund normally invests in municipal bonds issued by the State of Florida. The Acquiring Fund has substantially more assets and a better performance record for the last five years than the Fund. The Dreyfus Corporation ("Dreyfus") is the investment adviser to the Acquiring Fund and the Fund.

If the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization is approved and consummated for the Fund, you would no longer be a shareholder of the Fund, but would become a shareholder of the Acquiring Fund, which has a substantially similar investment objective and similar investment management policies as the Fund.

Management of Dreyfus has reviewed the funds in the Dreyfus Family of Funds and has concluded that it would be appropriate to consolidate certain funds having similar investment objectives and management policies or that would otherwise benefit fund shareholders. The Fund was designed, in part, to provide income exempt from the State of Florida's annual intangible personal property tax (the "Intangible Tax"). The State of Florida repealed the Intangible Tax, effective as of January 1, 2007. Thus, there is no longer a state-specific tax advantage to limiting the Fund's investments to Florida municipal bonds. The Acquiring Fund's portfolio includes the municipal bonds of many states. Management of Dreyfus believes that the reorganization should enable Fund shareholders to benefit from the more diverse state municipal bond investments of the Acquiring Fund and from more efficient portfolio management. In addition, the reorganization will eliminate the duplication of resources and costs associated with marketing and servicing the funds as separate entities. Accordingly, management recommended to the Trust's Board that the Fund be consolidated with the Acquiring Fund.

After careful review, the Trust's Board of Trustees has unanimously approved the proposed reorganization. The Trustees believe that the reorganization will permit Fund shareholders to pursue substantially similar investment goals in a substantially larger fund that has a more diverse investment portfolio and a better performance record for the last five years than the Fund, and a comparable overall performance record. The Board of Trustees recommends that you read the enclosed materials carefully and then vote FOR the proposal.

Your vote is extremely important, no matter how large or small your Fund holdings. By voting now, you can help avoid additional costs that are incurred with follow-up letters and calls.

To vote, you may use any of the following methods:

•

By Mail. Please complete, date and sign the enclosed proxy card and mail it in the enclosed, postage-paid envelope.

•

By Internet. Have your proxy card available. Go to the website listed on the proxy card. Enter your control number from your proxy card. Follow the instructions on the website.

TRANSFER OF THE ASSETS OF
THE FLORIDA SERIES OF
DREYFUS PREMIER STATE MUNICIPAL BOND FUND
TO AND IN EXCHANGE FOR SHARES OF
DREYFUS PREMIER MUNICIPAL BOND FUND

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

The enclosed materials include a Prospectus/Proxy Statement containing information you need to make an informed decision. However, we thought it also would be helpful to begin by answering some of the important questions you might have about the proposed reorganization.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO MY DREYFUS PREMIER STATE MUNICIPAL BOND FUND FLORIDA SERIES INVESTMENT IF THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATION IS APPROVED?

You will become a shareholder of Dreyfus Premier Municipal Bond Fund (the "Acquiring Fund"), an open-end investment company managed by The Dreyfus Corporation ("Dreyfus"), on or about November 27, 2007 (the "Closing Date"), and will no longer be a shareholder of the Florida Series (the "Fund") of Dreyfus Premier State Municipal Bond Fund (the "Trust"). You will receive Class A, Class B or Class C shares of the Acquiring Fund corresponding to your Class A, Class B or Class C shares of the Fund with a value equal to the value of your investment in the Fund as of the Closing Date. The Fund will then cease operations and will be terminated as a series of the Trust.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATION FOR ME?

The Trust's Board believes that the reorganization will permit Fund shareholders to pursue substantially similar investment goals in a substantially larger fund that also is managed by Dreyfus. The Fund was designed, in part, to provide income exempt from the State of Florida's annual intangible personal property tax (the "Intangible Tax") and, as a result, invests substantially all of its assets in municipal bonds issued by the State of Florida. Since the State of Florida repealed the Intangible Tax, effective as of January 1, 2007, there is no longer a state-specific tax advantage to limiting the Fund's investments to Florida municipal bonds. By combining the Fund with the Acquiring Fund, which has substantially more assets than the Fund, Fund shareholders should benefit from the more diverse state municipal bond investments of the Acquiring Fund and from more efficient portfolio management. In addition, the Acquiring Fund's performance record for the last five years was better than, and its overall performance record was comparable to, that of the Fund. The reorganization also will eliminate the duplication of resources and costs associated with marketing and servicing the funds as separate entities. Other potential benefits are described in the enclosed Prospectus/Proxy Statement.

DO THE FUNDS HAVE SIMILAR INVESTMENT GOALS AND STRATEGIES?

Yes. The Acquiring Fund and the Fund have a substantially similar investment objective and similar investment management policies. The Acquiring Fund seeks to maximize current income exempt from federal income tax to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital. The Fund seeks to maximize current income exempt from federal income tax, without undue risk. To pursue its goal, each fund normally invests substantially all of its assets in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal income tax. Each fund invests at least 70% of its assets in municipal bonds rated investment grade, or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus, and may invest up to 30% of its assets in municipal bonds rated below investment grade ("high yield" or "junk" bonds), or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus. The Fund is required to normally invest at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds issued by the State of Florida. The Acquiring Fund may, but is not required by its investment management policies to, purchase municipal bonds issued by the State of Florida. The primary portfolio managers of the Fund and the Acquiring Fund and management believe that, because Florida does not impose a personal income tax and the Intangible Tax was repealed, the tax exempt characteristics of the funds' portfolios are not significantly different for purposes of seeking to achieve the respective fund's investment objective. Dreyfus is the investment adviser to the Fund and the Acquiring Fund and provides day-to-day management of each fund's investments. MBSC Securities Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, distributes each fund's shares. For additional information regarding the Acquiring Fund and the Fund, please refer to the enclosed Prospectus/Proxy Statement.

WHAT ARE THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATION?

The reorganization will not be a taxable event for federal income tax purposes. Shareholders will not recognize any capital gain or loss as a direct result of the reorganization. A shareholder's tax basis in Fund shares will carry over to the shareholder's Acquiring Fund shares. The Fund will distribute any undistributed net investment income and net realized capital gains prior to the reorganization, which distribution may be taxable to shareholders.

WILL I ENJOY THE SAME PRIVILEGES AS A SHAREHOLDER OF THE ACQUIRING FUND THAT I CURRENTLY HAVE AS A SHAREHOLDER OF THE FUND?

Yes. You will continue to enjoy the same shareholder privileges such as the Fund Exchanges service, Dreyfus TeleTransfer Privilege, Dreyfus-Automatic Asset Builder^®, Dreyfus Payroll Savings Plan, Dreyfus Government Direct Deposit Privilege, Dreyfus Dividend Options, Dreyfus Auto-Exchange Privilege and Dreyfus Automatic Withdrawal Plan. If you hold Class A shares, you also will have the ability to continue to write redemption checks against your account through the Checkwriting privilege.

WILL THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATION RESULT IN A HIGHER MANAGEMENT FEE OR HIGHER FUND EXPENSES?

The Fund and the Acquiring Fund have each agreed to pay Dreyfus a management fee at the annual rate of 0.55% of the value of the respective fund's average daily net assets. Each class of shares of the Acquiring Fund had a lower total expense ratio (excluding interest expense) than the corresponding class of shares of the Fund as of April 30, 2007.

WILL I BE CHARGED A SALES CHARGE, REDEMPTION FEE OR CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE ("CDSC") AT THE TIME OF THE REORGANIZATION?

No. No sales charge, redemption fee or CDSC will be imposed at the time of the reorganization. Any subsequent investment in the Acquiring Fund will be subject to any applicable sales charges and any redemption of Class B or Class C shares (or Class A shares subject to a CDSC) of the Acquiring Fund received in the reorganization will be subject to the same CDSC as redemption of Class B or Class C shares (or Class A shares subject to a CDSC) of the Fund (calculated from the date of original purchase of Fund shares).

WHO WILL PAY THE EXPENSES OF THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATION?

Because of the anticipated benefits to shareholders of each fund as a result of the reorganization, expenses relating to the proposed reorganization will be split proportionately between the funds, based on the net assets of each fund.

HOW DOES THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE TRUST RECOMMEND I VOTE?

The Trust's Board of Trustees has determined that reorganizing the Fund into the Acquiring Fund, which is managed by Dreyfus and has a substantially similar investment objective and similar investment management policies as the Fund, offers potential benefits to shareholders of the Fund. These potential benefits include permitting Fund shareholders to pursue substantially similar investment goals in a substantially larger fund that has a more diverse investment portfolio and a better performance record for the last five years than the Fund, and a comparable overall performance record. By combining the Fund with the Acquiring Fund, shareholders of the Fund also should benefit from more efficient portfolio management.

The Trust's Board of Trustees believes that the reorganization is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. Therefore, the Trustees recommend that you vote FOR the reorganization.

HOW CAN I VOTE MY SHARES?

You can vote in any one of the following ways:

•

By mail, with the enclosed proxy card and postage-paid envelope;

•

By telephone, with a toll-free call to the number listed on your proxy card;

•

Through the Internet, at the website address listed on your proxy card;

•

In person at the meeting.

We encourage you to vote through the Internet or by telephone using the number that appears on your proxy card. These voting methods will save the funds money because the funds would not have to pay for return-mail postage. Whichever voting method you choose, please take the time to read the Prospectus/Proxy Statement before you vote.

Please note: if you sign and date your proxy card, but do not provide voting instructions, your shares will be voted FOR the proposal. Thank you in advance for your vote.

Special Meeting of Shareholders
To Be Held on Thursday, November 15, 2007

This Prospectus/Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with a solicitation of proxies by the Board of Trustees of Dreyfus Premier State Municipal Bond Fund (the "Trust"), on behalf of the Florida Series (the "Fund"), to be used at the Special Meeting of Shareholders (the "Meeting") of the Fund to be held on Thursday, November 15, 2007, at 11:00 a.m., at the offices of The Dreyfus Corporation ("Dreyfus"), 200 Park Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, New York 10166, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders. Shareholders of record at the close of business on September 7, 2007 are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting.

It is proposed that the Fund transfer all of its assets to Dreyfus Premier Municipal Bond Fund (the "Acquiring Fund"), in exchange for Class A, Class B and Class C shares of the Acquiring Fund and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of the Fund's stated liabilities, all as more fully described in this Prospectus/Proxy Statement (the "Reorganization"). Upon consummation of the Reorganization, the Acquiring Fund shares received by the Fund will be distributed to Fund shareholders, with each shareholder receiving a pro rata distribution of the Acquiring Fund's shares (or fractions thereof) for Fund shares held prior to the Reorganization. It is contemplated that each shareholder will receive for his or her Fund shares a number of Class A, Class B or Class C shares (or fractions thereof) of the Acquiring Fund equal in value to the aggregate net asset value of the shareholder's Class A, Class B or Class C Fund shares, respectively, as of the date of the Reorganization.

This Prospectus/Proxy Statement, which should be retained for future reference, concisely sets forth information about the Acquiring Fund that Fund shareholders should know before voting on the proposal or investing in the Acquiring Fund.

A Statement of Additional Information ("SAI") dated September __, 2007, relating to this Prospectus/Proxy Statement, has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and is incorporated by reference in its entirety. The Commission maintains a website (http://www.sec.gov) that contains the SAI, material incorporated in this Prospectus/Proxy Statement by reference, and other information regarding the Acquiring Fund and the Fund. A copy of the SAI is available without charge by calling 1-800-554-4611, or writing to the Acquiring Fund at its offices at 144 Glenn Curtiss Boulevard, Uniondale, New York 11556-0144.

Shares of the Acquiring Fund and the Fund are not bank deposits and are not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Investing in the Acquiring Fund, as in the Fund, involves certain risks, including the possible loss of principal.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has not approved or disapproved the Acquiring Fund's shares or passed upon the adequacy of this Prospectus/Proxy Statement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The Fund and the Acquiring Fund are open-end management investment companies advised by Dreyfus. The funds have a substantially similar investment objective and similar investment management policies. The Fund and the Acquiring Fund each normally invest substantially all of their respective assets in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal income tax, but the Fund is required to normally invest at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds considered to be Florida municipal bonds. A comparison of the Acquiring Fund and the Fund is set forth in this Prospectus/Proxy Statement.

The Acquiring Fund's Prospectus dated September 1, 2007 and Annual Report for its fiscal year ended April 30, 2007 (including its audited financial statements for the fiscal year) accompany this Prospectus/Proxy Statement. The Acquiring Fund's Prospectus and the financial statements contained in its Annual Report are incorporated into this Prospectus/Proxy Statement by reference.

SUMMARY

This Summary is qualified by reference to the more complete information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus/Proxy Statement, the Acquiring Fund's Prospectus, the Fund's Prospectus and the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") attached to this Prospectus/Proxy Statement as Exhibit A.

Proposed Transaction. The Trust's Board, all of whose members are not "interested persons" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act")) of the Fund or the Acquiring Fund, has unanimously approved the Plan for the Fund. The Plan provides that, subject to the requisite approval of the Fund's shareholders, on the date of the Reorganization the Fund will assign, transfer and convey to the Acquiring Fund all of the assets of the Fund, including all securities and cash, in exchange for Class A, Class B and Class C shares of the Acquiring Fund having an aggregate net asset value equal to the value of the Fund's net assets, and the Acquiring Fund will assume the Fund's stated liabilities. The Fund will distribute all Acquiring Fund shares received by it among its shareholders so that each Class A, Class B and Class C Fund shareholder will receive a pro rata distribution of the Acquiring Fund's Class A, Class B and Class C shares (or fractions thereof), respectively, having an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of the shareholder's Fund shares as of the date of the Reorganization. Thereafter, the Fund will cease operations and will be terminated as a series of the Trust.

As a result of the Reorganization, each Fund shareholder will cease to be a shareholder of the Fund and will become a shareholder of the Acquiring Fund as of the close of business on the date of the Reorganization. No sales charge, redemption fee or contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") will be imposed at the time of the Reorganization. Any subsequent investment in the Acquiring Fund after the Reorganization will be subject to any applicable sales charges, and any redemption of Class B or Class C shares (or Class A shares subject to a CDSC) of the Acquiring Fund received in the Reorganization will be subject to the same CDSC as the redemption of Class B or Class C shares (or Class A shares subject to a CDSC) of the Fund and would be calculated from the date of original purchase of Fund shares.

The Trust's Board has unanimously concluded that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and the interests of the Fund's existing shareholders will not be diluted as a result of the transactions contemplated thereby. See "Reasons for the Reorganization."

Tax Consequences. As a condition to the closing of the Reorganization, the Fund and the Acquiring Fund will receive an opinion of counsel to the effect that, for federal income tax purposes, the Reorganization will qualify as a tax-free reorganization and, thus, no gain or loss will be recognized by the Fund, the Fund's shareholders, or the Acquiring Fund as a result of the Reorganization. Certain tax attributes of the Fund will carry over to the Acquiring Fund; however, the ability of the Acquiring Fund to utilize the Fund's capital loss carryforwards will be subject to limitations. See "Information about the Reorganization—Federal Income Tax Consequences."

Comparison of the Fund and the Acquiring Fund. The following discussion is primarily a summary of certain parts of the Fund's Prospectus and the Acquiring Fund's Prospectus. Information contained in this Prospectus/Proxy Statement is qualified by the more complete information set forth in such Prospectuses, which are incorporated herein by reference.

Goal/Approach. The Acquiring Fund has a substantially similar investment objective and similar investment management policies as the Fund. The Acquiring Fund seeks to maximize current income exempt from federal income tax to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital. The Fund seeks to maximize current income exempt from federal income tax, without undue risk. To pursue its goal, each fund normally invests substantially all of its assets in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal income tax.

The Fund was designed, in part, to provide income exempt from the State of Florida's Intangible Tax, which was repealed effective as of January 1, 2007. As a fundamental policy, the Fund normally invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in municipal bonds of the State of Florida, its political subdivisions, authorities and corporations. To the extent acceptable Florida municipal bonds are at any time unavailable for investment by the Fund, the Fund will invest temporarily in other municipal bonds. The Acquiring Fund may, but is not required by its investment management policies to, purchase Florida municipal bonds. The primary portfolio managers of the Fund and the Acquiring Fund and management believe that, because Florida does not impose a personal income tax and the Intangible Tax was repealed, the tax exempt characteristics of the funds' portfolios are not significantly different for purposes of seeking to achieve the respective fund's investment objective.

Each of the Fund and the Acquiring Fund invests at least 70% of its assets in municipal bonds rated investment grade, or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus. For additional yield, each of the Fund and the Acquiring Fund may invest up to 30% of its assets in municipal bonds rated below investment grade ("high yield" or "junk" bonds), or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus.

The dollar-weighted average maturity of each fund's portfolio normally exceeds ten years, but each fund may invest without regard to maturity.

Although each fund seeks to provide income exempt from federal income tax, interest from some fund holdings may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. In addition, each fund temporarily may invest in taxable bonds.

For each fund, the portfolio managers may buy and sell municipal bonds based on credit quality, market outlook and yield potential. In selecting municipal bonds for investment, the portfolio managers may assess the current interest rate environment and the municipal bond's potential volatility in different rate environments. The portfolio managers for each fund focus on municipal bonds with the potential to offer attractive current income, typically looking for municipal bonds that can provide consistently attractive current yields or that are trading at competitive market prices. A portion of each fund's assets may be allocated to "discount" bonds, which are municipal bonds that sell at a price below their face value, or to "premium" bonds, which are municipal bonds that sell at a price above their face value. The allocation to either discount municipal bonds or to premium municipal bonds will change along with the portfolio managers' changing views of the current interest rate and market environment. The portfolio managers also may look to select municipal bonds that are most likely to obtain attractive prices when sold.

The Fund and the Acquiring Fund may, but are not required to, use derivatives, such as futures and options, as a substitute for taking a position in an underlying asset, to increase returns, to manage credit or interest rate risk, or as part of a hedging strategy. Each of the Fund and the Acquiring Fund also may buy securities that pay interest at rates that float inversely with changes in prevailing interest rates ("inverse floaters") and may make forward commitments in which the relevant fund agrees to buy or sell a security in the future at a price agreed upon today. Inverse floaters are created by depositing municipal bonds in a trust which divides the bond's income stream into two parts: a short-term variable rate demand note and a residual interest bond (the inverse floater) which receives interest based on the remaining cash flow of the trust after payment of interest on the note and various trust expenses. Interest on the inverse floater usually moves in the opposite direction as the interest on the variable rate demand note.

Each fund may lend its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions needing to borrow securities to complete certain transactions. Loans of portfolio securities may not exceed 33-1/3% of the value of the fund's total assets.

The Acquiring Fund is diversified, which means that with respect to 75% of its total assets, it will not invest more than 5% of its assets in the securities of any single issuer nor hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of a single issuer. The Fund is not diversified, which means that the proportion of the Fund's assets that may be invested in the securities of a single issuer is not limited by the 1940 Act.

For more information on either the Fund's or the Acquiring Fund's management policies, see "Goal/Approach" in the relevant Prospectus and "Description of the Fund" and "Description of the Fund and Series" in the Statement of Additional Information of the Acquiring Fund and the Fund, respectively.

Main Risks. The principal risks associated with an investment in the Fund and the Acquiring Fund are similar. These risks are discussed below. As a result, the value of your investment in the Acquiring Fund, as in the Fund, will fluctuate, which means you could lose money.

•

Interest rate risk. Prices of municipal bonds tend to move inversely with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in rates will adversely affect bond prices and, accordingly, the fund's share price. The longer the effective maturity and duration of the fund's portfolio, the more the fund's share price is likely to react to interest rates.

•

Call risk. Some municipal bonds give the issuer the option to call, or redeem, the bonds before their maturity date. If an issuer "calls" its bond during a time of declining interest rates, the relevant fund might have to reinvest the proceeds in an investment offering a lower yield. During periods of market illiquidity or rising interest rates, prices of a fund's "callable" issues are subject to increased price fluctuation.

•

Credit risk. Failure of an issuer to make timely interest or principal payments, or a decline or perception of a decline in the credit quality of a municipal bond, can cause the bond's price to fall, potentially lowering the Fund's or the Acquiring Fund's share price. Although the Acquiring Fund and the Fund invest primarily in municipal bonds rated investment grade, each fund may invest to a limited extent in high yield bonds, which involve greater credit risk, including the risk of default, than investment grade bonds, and are considered predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to make principal and interest payments. The prices of high yield bonds can fall dramatically in response to bad news about the issuer or its industry, or the economy in general.

•

Liquidity risk. The secondary market for certain municipal bonds tends to be less well developed or liquid than many other securities markets, which may adversely affect the fund's ability to sell such municipal bonds at attractive prices. When there is little or no active trading market for specific types of securities, it can become more difficult to sell the securities at or near their perceived value. In such a market, the value of such securities and the fund's share price may fall dramatically.

•

Market sector risk. Each fund's overall risk level will depend on the market sectors in which the fund is invested and the current interest rate, liquidity and credit quality of such sectors. Each fund may significantly overweight or underweight certain industries or market sectors, which may cause such fund's performance to be more or less sensitive to developments affecting those industries or sectors.

•

State-specific risk. (Fund only) The Fund is subject to the risk that Florida's economy, and the revenues underlying its municipal bonds, may decline. Investing primarily in a single state makes the Fund more sensitive to risks specific to the state and may magnify other risks.

•

Tax risk. To be tax-exempt, municipal bonds generally must meet certain regulatory requirements. Although each fund will invest in municipal bonds that pay interest that is exempt, in the opinion of counsel to the issuer (or on the basis of other authority believed by Dreyfus to be reliable), from federal income tax, if any such municipal bond fails to meet these regulatory requirements, the interest received by the fund from its investment in such bonds and distributed to fund shareholders will be taxable.

•

Leveraging risk. The use of leverage, such as lending portfolio securities, engaging in forward commitment transactions and investing in inverse floaters, may cause taxable income and may magnify the fund's gains or losses.

•

Derivatives risk. Each fund may use derivative instruments, such as options, futures and options on futures (including those relating to securities, indexes and interest rates) and inverse floaters. Certain derivatives may cause taxable income. A small investment in derivatives could have a potentially large impact on a fund's performance. The use of derivatives involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the underlying assets. Derivatives can be highly volatile, illiquid and difficult to value, and there is the risk that changes in the value of a derivative held by the Fund or the Acquiring Fund will not correlate with the underlying instruments or such fund's other investments. Derivative instruments also involve the risk that a loss may be sustained as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the derivative instruments to make required payments or otherwise comply with the derivative instruments' terms.

•

Non-diversification risk. (Fund only) The Fund is non-diversified, which means that a relatively high percentage of the Fund's assets may be invested in a limited number of issuers. Therefore, the Fund's performance may be more vulnerable to changes in the market value of a single issuer or group of issuers and more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a diversified fund.

The Fund and the Acquiring Fund may lend their respective portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. In connection with such loans, the fund will receive collateral from the borrower equal to at least 100% of the value of the loaned securities. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, the fund may experience delays in recovering the loaned securities or exercising its rights in the collateral.

Under adverse market conditions, the Fund and the Acquiring Fund each could invest some or all of its respective assets in U.S. Treasury securities and money market securities. Although the Fund or the Acquiring Fund would do this for temporary defensive purposes, this strategy could reduce the benefit from any upswing in the market. To the extent the Fund or the Acquiring Fund invests defensively in these securities, the fund might not achieve its investment objective. Each fund also may purchase money market instruments when it has cash reserves or in anticipation of taking a market position.

See "Main Risks" in the relevant Prospectus and "Description of the Fund" and "Description of the Fund and Series" in the Statement of Additional Information of the Acquiring Fund and the Fund, respectively, for a more complete description of investment risks.

Sales Charges. The schedules of sales charges imposed at the time of purchase of Class A shares of the Fund and the Acquiring Fund are identical. The maximum sales charge imposed on the purchase of Class A shares of the Fund and the Acquiring Fund is 4.50%. In addition, Fund and Acquiring Fund Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of at least $1,000,000 and redeemed within one year of purchase are subject to the same 1.00% CDSC. The CDSCs imposed at the time of redemption on Class B and Class C shares for the Fund and the Acquiring Fund are identical. See in the relevant Prospectus "Shareholder Guide" for a discussion of sales charges and the CDSC. No sales charge or CDSC will be imposed at the time of the Reorganization. Shares of the Fund and the Acquiring Fund currently are not subject to any exchange or redemption fees.

Fees and Expenses. The fees and expenses set forth below are based on net assets and accruals of the Fund and the Acquiring Fund, respectively, as of April 30, 2007. The "Pro Forma After Reorganization" operating expenses information is based on the net assets and fund accruals of the Fund and the Acquiring Fund as of April 30, 2007, as adjusted showing the effect of the Reorganization had it occurred on such date (including estimated costs of the Reorganization totaling $60,000). Each fund has agreed to pay Dreyfus a management fee at the annual rate of 0.55% of the value of the respective fund's average daily net assets. Each class of shares of the Acquiring Fund had a lower total expense ratio (excluding interest expense) than the corresponding class of shares of the Fund based on expenses of the funds as of April 30, 2007. Annual fund operating expenses are paid out of fund assets, so their effect is reflected in the share prices.

Expense example

This example shows what you could pay in expenses over time. It uses the same hypothetical conditions other funds use in their prospectuses: $10,000 initial investment, 5% total return each year and no changes in expenses. Because actual returns and expenses will be different, the example is for comparison only.

Past Performance. The bar charts and tables below illustrate the risks of investing in the Acquiring Fund and the Fund. The bar charts for the Acquiring Fund and the Fund show the changes in the performance of the respective fund's Class A shares from year to year. Sales loads are not reflected in the charts; if they were, the returns shown for Class A shares of the Acquiring Fund and the Fund would have been lower. The tables for the Acquiring Fund and the Fund compare the average annual total returns of each of the respective fund's share classes to those of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, a widely recognized, unmanaged index of long-term municipal bond performance. These returns include applicable sales loads. All returns assume reinvestment of dividends and distributions. Of course, past performance (both before and after taxes) is no guarantee of future results. With respect to each fund, performance for each share class will vary from the performance of the respective fund's other share classes due to differences in charges and expenses.

After-tax performance is shown only for Class A shares of the Acquiring Fund and the Fund. After-tax performance of the respective fund's other share classes will vary. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates, and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on the investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown, and the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.

_____________
* Reflects the pro rata allocation of the estimated costs of the Reorganization between the Fund and the Acquiring Fund.

The Acquiring Fund's and the Fund's total net assets (attributable to Class A, Class B, Class C, and for the Acquiring Fund, Class Z shares) as of April 30, 2007 were approximately $584.8 million and $83.3 million, respectively. Each share has one vote. Shares have no preemptive or subscription rights and are freely transferable. All share classes invest in the same portfolio of securities, but the classes are subject to different charges and expenses and will likely have different share prices.

Purchase Procedures. The purchase procedures of the Fund and the Acquiring Fund and the automatic investment services they offer are substantially similar. See "Shareholder Guide – Buying shares," "Services for Fund Investors" and "Instructions for Regular Accounts" in the relevant Prospectus and "How to Buy Shares" and "Shareholder Services" in the relevant Statement of Additional Information for a discussion of purchase procedures.

Distribution Plan. Class B and Class C shares of the Fund and the Acquiring Fund are subject to plans adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (each, a "Rule 12b-1 Plan"). Under the respective Rule 12b-1 Plan, the Fund and the Acquiring Fund each pay MBSC Securities Corporation (formerly, Dreyfus Service Corporation), their distributor, a fee at an annual rate of 0.50% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class B shares and 0.75% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class C shares (there is no Rule 12b-1 Plan fee for Class A shares) to finance the sale and distribution of such shares. Because the Rule 12b-1 Plan fee is paid out of the assets attributable to the relevant class of shares on an ongoing basis, over time it will increase the cost of your investment in such class of shares and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges. See "Distribution Plan and Shareholder Services Plan — Distribution Plan" in the relevant Statement of Additional Information for a discussion of the Rule 12b-1 Plan.

Shareholder Services Plan. Class A, Class B and Class C shares of the Fund and the Acquiring Fund are subject to a Shareholder Services Plan pursuant to which the Fund and the Acquiring Fund each pay MBSC Securities Corporation, their distributor, a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class B and Class C shares for providing shareholder services. See "Distribution Plan and Shareholder Services Plan—Shareholder Services Plan" in the relevant Statement of Additional Information for a discussion of the Shareholder Services Plan.

Redemption Procedures. The redemption procedures of the Fund and the Acquiring Fund are substantially similar. See "Shareholder Guide – Selling shares" and "Instructions for Regular Accounts" in the relevant Prospectus and "How to Redeem Shares" in the relevant Statement of Additional Information for a discussion of redemption procedures.

Distributions. The dividends and distributions policies of the Fund and the Acquiring Fund are identical. Although they may do so more frequently, each fund anticipates paying its shareholders dividends once a month and any capital gain distribution annually. The actual amount of dividends paid per share by the Fund and the Acquiring Fund is different. See "Distributions and Taxes" in the relevant Prospectus for a discussion of such policies.

Shareholder Services. The shareholder services offered by the Fund and the Acquiring Fund are substantially similar. The privileges you currently have on your Fund account will transfer automatically to your account with the Acquiring Fund. See "Services for Fund Investors" in the relevant Prospectus and "Shareholder Services" in the relevant Statement of Additional Information for a further discussion of the shareholder services offered.

REASONS FOR THE REORGANIZATION

After management of Dreyfus reviewed the funds in the Dreyfus Family of Funds to determine whether it would be appropriate to consolidate certain funds having similar investment objectives and management policies or that would otherwise benefit fund shareholders, management recommended that the Fund be consolidated with the Acquiring Fund. The Fund was designed, in part, to provide income exempt from the State of Florida's Intangible Tax. The State of Florida repealed the Intangible Tax, effective as of January 1, 2007. Thus, there is no longer a state-specific tax advantage to limiting the Fund's investments to Florida municipal bonds. The Acquiring Fund's portfolio includes the municipal bonds of many states. The Board members of the Trust and the Acquiring Fund have concluded that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and the Acquiring Fund and its shareholders, respectively. The Trust's Board believes that the Reorganization will permit Fund shareholders to pursue substantially similar investment goals in a substantially larger fund that has a more diverse investment portfolio and a better performance record for the last five years than the Fund, and a comparable overall performance record, without diluting such shareholders' interests. As of April 30, 2007, the Fund had net assets of approximately $83.3 million and the Acquiring Fund had net assets of approximately $584.8 million. By combining the Fund with the Acquiring Fund, Fund shareholders should benefit from the more diverse state municipal bond investments of the Acquiring Fund and from more efficient portfolio management and Dreyfus would be able to eliminate the duplication of resources and costs associated with marketing and servicing the funds as separate entities.

The Acquiring Fund's Board considered that the Reorganization presents an opportunity for the Acquiring Fund to acquire substantial investment assets without the obligation to pay commissions or other transaction costs that a fund normally incurs when purchasing securities. This opportunity provides an economic benefit to the Acquiring Fund.

In determining whether to recommend approval of the Reorganization, each Board considered the following factors, among others: (1) the compatibility of the Fund's and the Acquiring Fund's investment objectives, management policies and restrictions, as well as shareholder services offered by the Fund and the Acquiring Fund; (2) the terms and conditions of the Reorganization and whether the Reorganization would result in dilution of shareholder interests; (3) the expense ratios and information regarding the fees and expenses of the Fund and the Acquiring Fund, as well as the estimated expense ratio of the combined Acquiring Fund; (4) the relative performance of the Fund and the Acquiring Fund; (5) the tax consequences of the Reorganization; and (6) the costs to be incurred by the Fund and the Acquiring Fund in connection with the Reorganization.

For the reasons described above, the Boards of the Trust and the Acquiring Fund, each of which is composed entirely of Independent Board Members, approved the Reorganization.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REORGANIZATION

Plan of Reorganization. The following summary of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan attached to this Prospectus/Proxy Statement as Exhibit A. The Plan provides that, subject to the requisite approval of the Fund's shareholders, the Acquiring Fund will acquire all of the assets of the Fund in exchange for Acquiring Fund Class A, Class B and Class C shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of the Fund's stated liabilities on November 27, 2007 or such other date as may be agreed upon by the parties (the "Closing Date"). The number of Acquiring Fund Class A, Class B and Class C shares to be issued to the Fund will be determined on the basis of the relative net asset values per share and aggregate net assets of the corresponding class of the Fund and the Acquiring Fund, generally computed as of the close of trading on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (usually at 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) on the Closing Date. Portfolio securities of the Fund and the Acquiring Fund will be valued in accordance with the valuation practices of the Acquiring Fund, which are described under the caption "Shareholder Guide—Buying shares" in the Acquiring Fund's Prospectus and under the caption "Determination of Net Asset Value" in the Acquiring Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

On or before the Closing Date, the Fund will declare a dividend or dividends which, together with all previous dividends, will have the effect of distributing to Fund shareholders all of the Fund's previously undistributed investment company taxable income, if any, for the tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date (computed without regard to any deduction for dividends paid), its net exempt interest income for the tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date, and all of its previously undistributed net capital gain, if any, realized in the tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date (after reduction for any capital loss carryforward).

As soon as conveniently practicable after the Closing Date, the Fund will liquidate and distribute pro rata to its Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders of record as of the close of business on the Closing Date, Acquiring Fund Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, received by it in the Reorganization. Such liquidation and distribution will be accomplished by establishing accounts on the share records of the Acquiring Fund in the name of each Fund shareholder, each account being credited with the respective pro rata number of Acquiring Fund shares due to the shareholder. After such distribution and the winding up of its affairs, the Fund will cease operations and will be terminated as a series of the Trust. After the Closing Date, any outstanding certificates representing Fund shares will be cancelled and Acquiring Fund shares distributed to the Fund's shareholders of record will be reflected on the books of the Acquiring Fund as uncertificated, book-entry shares.

The Plan may be amended at any time prior to the Reorganization. The Fund will provide its shareholders with information describing any material amendment to the Plan prior to shareholder consideration. The obligations of the Fund and the Acquiring Fund under the Plan are subject to various conditions, including approval by Fund shareholders holding the requisite number of Fund shares and the continuing accuracy of various representations and warranties of the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and the Acquiring Fund.

The total expenses of the Reorganization are expected to be approximately $60,000, which will be borne by the Fund and the Acquiring Fund pro rata based on the aggregate net assets of each fund. In addition to use of the mails, proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone, and the funds may pay persons holding Fund shares in their names or those of their nominees for their expenses in sending soliciting materials to their principals. In addition, an outside firm may be retained to solicit proxies on behalf of the Trust's Board. The cost of any such outside solicitation firm is estimated to be approximately $6,000, which amount is included in the estimated total expenses of the Reorganization listed above.

If the Reorganization is not approved by Fund shareholders, the Trust's Board will consider other appropriate courses of action with respect to the Fund.

Temporary Suspension of Certain of the Fund's Investment Restrictions. Since certain of the Fund's existing investment restrictions could preclude the Fund from consummating the Reorganization in the manner contemplated in the Plan, Fund shareholders are requested to authorize the temporary suspension of any investment restriction of the Fund to the extent necessary to permit the consummation of the Reorganization. The temporary suspension of any of the Fund's investment restrictions will not affect the investment restrictions of the Acquiring Fund. A vote in favor of the proposal is deemed to be a vote in favor of the temporary suspension.

Federal Income Tax Consequences. The exchange of Fund assets for Acquiring Fund Class A, Class B and Class C shares, the Acquiring Fund's assumption of the Fund's stated liabilities and the Fund's distribution of those shares to Fund shareholders are intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). As a condition to the closing of the Reorganization, the Fund and the Acquiring Fund will receive the opinion of Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP, counsel to the Fund, the Acquiring Fund and the Independent Board Members, to the effect that, on the basis of the existing provisions of the Code, Treasury regulations issued thereunder, current administrative regulations and pronouncements and court decisions, and certain facts, assumptions and representations, for federal income tax purposes: (1) the transfer of all of the Fund's assets to the Acquiring Fund in exchange solely for Acquiring Fund Class A, Class B and Class C shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of the Fund's stated liabilities, followed by the distribution by the Fund of those Acquiring Fund Class A, Class B and Class C shares pro rata to Fund shareholders in complete liquidation of the Fund, will qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and each of the Fund and the Acquiring Fund will be "a party to a reorganization"; (2) no gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquiring Fund upon the receipt of the assets of the Fund in exchange solely for Acquiring Fund Class A, Class B and Class C shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of stated liabilities of the Fund pursuant to the Reorganization; (3) no gain or loss will be recognized by the Fund upon the transfer of its assets to the Acquiring Fund in exchange solely for Acquiring Fund Class A, Class B and Class C shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of stated liabilities of the Fund or upon the distribution (whether actual or constructive) of those Acquiring Fund Class A, Class B and Class C shares to Fund shareholders in exchange for their shares of the Fund in liquidation of the Fund pursuant to the Reorganization; (4) no gain or loss will be recognized by Fund shareholders upon the exchange of their Fund Class A, Class B and Class C shares for Acquiring Fund Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, pursuant to the Reorganization; (5) the aggregate tax basis for the Acquiring Fund Class A, Class B and Class C shares received by each Fund shareholder pursuant to the Reorganization will be the same as the aggregate tax basis for the Fund shares held by such shareholder immediately prior to the Reorganization, and the holding period of those Acquiring Fund Class A, Class B and Class C shares received by each Fund shareholder will include the period during which the Fund shares exchanged therefor were held by such shareholder (provided the Fund shares were held as capital assets on the date of the Reorganization); and (6) the tax basis of each Fund asset acquired by the Acquiring Fund will be the same as the tax basis of such asset to the Fund immediately prior to the Reorganization, and the holding period of each Fund asset in the hands of the Acquiring Fund will include the period during which that asset was held by the Fund.

Neither the Fund nor the Acquiring Fund has sought a tax ruling from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). The opinion of counsel is not binding on the IRS, nor does it preclude the IRS from adopting a contrary position. Fund shareholders should consult their tax advisers regarding the effect, if any, of the Reorganization in light of their individual circumstances. Because the foregoing discussion relates only to the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization, Fund shareholders also should consult their tax advisers as to state and local tax consequences, if any, of the Reorganization.

As of the Fund's fiscal year ended April 30, 2007, the Fund has an unused capital loss carryforward of $262,145. There are limitations to the amount of the carryforward that can be utilized in any one year, and any amount that cannot be utilized in any one year can be carried over to a succeeding year subject to the same limitations in such year. Different amounts of the capital loss carryforward expire in different years. Consequently, as a result of the limitations on the use of capital loss carryforwards, if the Reorganization is consummated it is expected that some or all of the Fund's capital loss carryforward may expire unused.

Required Vote and Board's Recommendation

The Trust's Board has approved the Plan and the Reorganization and has determined that (1) participation in the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and (2) the interests of shareholders of the Fund will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. The affirmative vote of a majority of the Fund's shares outstanding and entitled to vote is required to approve the Plan and the Reorganization.

THE TRUST'S BOARD, ALL OF WHOSE MEMBERS ARE INDEPENDENT BOARD MEMBERS,
UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR"
APPROVAL OF THE PLAN AND THE REORGANIZATION.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE ACQUIRING FUND AND THE FUND

Information about the Acquiring Fund is incorporated by reference into this Prospectus/Proxy Statement from the Acquiring Fund's Prospectus forming a part of the Acquiring Fund's Registration Statement on Form N-1A (File No. 33-07496). Information about the Fund is incorporated by reference into this Prospectus/Proxy Statement from the Fund's Prospectus forming a part of the Trust's Registration Statement on Form N-1A (File No. 33-10238).

The Fund and the Acquiring Fund are subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act and file reports, proxy statements and other information with the Commission. Reports, proxy statements and other information filed by the Fund and the Acquiring Fund may be inspected and copied at the Public Reference Facilities of the Commission at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Text-only versions of fund documents can be viewed on-line or downloaded from www.sec.gov or www.dreyfus.com. Copies of such material also can be obtained from the Public Reference Branch, Office of Consumer Affairs and Information Services, Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C. 20549, at prescribed rates.

VOTING INFORMATION

In addition to the use of the mails, proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone, and persons holding Fund shares in their names or in nominee name may be paid for their expenses in sending soliciting materials to their principals. An outside firm may be retained to assist in the solicitation of proxies, primarily by contacting shareholders by telephone.

Authorizations to execute proxies may be obtained by telephonic or electronically transmitted instructions in accordance with procedures designed to authenticate the shareholder's identity. In all cases where a telephonic proxy is solicited (as opposed to where the shareholder calls the toll-free number directly to vote), the shareholder will be asked to provide or confirm certain identifiable information and to confirm that the shareholder has received the Prospectus/Proxy Statement and proxy card in the mail. Within 72 hours of receiving a shareholder's telephonic or electronically transmitted voting instructions, a confirmation will be sent to the shareholder to ensure that the vote has been taken in accordance with the shareholder's instructions and to provide a telephone number to call immediately if the shareholder's instructions are not correctly reflected in the confirmation. Any shareholder giving a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by submitting a new proxy to the Fund or by attending the Meeting and voting in person.

If a proxy is executed properly and returned accompanied by instructions to withhold authority to vote, represents a broker "non-vote" (that is, a proxy from a broker or nominee indicating that such person has not received instructions from the beneficial owner or other person entitled to vote Fund shares on a particular matter with respect to which the broker or nominee does not have discretionary power) or is marked with an abstention (collectively, "abstentions"), the Fund shares represented thereby will be considered to be present at the Meeting for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum for the transaction of business. Abstentions will have the effect of a "no" vote for the purpose of obtaining requisite approval for the proposal.

In the event that a quorum is not present at the Meeting, or if a quorum is present but sufficient votes to approve the proposal are not received, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies. In determining whether to adjourn the Meeting, the following factors may be considered: the nature of the proposal, the percentage of votes actually cast, the percentage of negative votes actually cast, the nature of any further solicitation and the information to be provided to Fund shareholders with respect to the reasons for the solicitation. Any adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares affected by the adjournment that are represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy. If a quorum is present, the persons named as proxies will vote those proxies which they are entitled to vote "FOR" the proposal in favor of such adjournment, and will vote those proxies required to be voted "AGAINST" the proposal against any adjournment. A quorum is constituted by the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of 30% of the outstanding Fund shares entitled to vote at the Meeting.

The votes of the Acquiring Fund's shareholders are not being solicited since their approval or consent is not necessary for the Reorganization.

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION dated as of July 24, 2007 (the "Agreement"), between DREYFUS PREMIER STATE MUNICIPAL BOND FUND (the "Trust"), a Massachusetts business trust, on behalf of the FLORIDA SERIES (the "Fund"), and DREYFUS PREMIER MUNICIPAL BOND FUND, a Massachusetts business trust (the "Acquiring Fund").

This Agreement is intended to be and is adopted as a "plan of reorganization" within the meaning of the regulations under Section 368(a) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The reorganization will consist of the transfer of all of the assets of the Fund to the Acquiring Fund in exchange solely for the Acquiring Fund's Class A, Class B and Class C shares ("Acquiring Fund Shares") of beneficial interest, par value $.001 per share, and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of certain liabilities of the Fund and the distribution, after the Closing Date hereinafter referred to, of the Acquiring Fund Shares to the shareholders of the Fund in liquidation of the Fund as provided herein, all upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth in this Agreement (the "Reorganization").

WHEREAS, the Fund is a series of the Trust, a registered, open-end management investment company, and the Acquiring Fund is an open-end management investment company, and the Fund owns securities which are assets of the character in which the Acquiring Fund is permitted to invest;

WHEREAS, both the Acquiring Fund and the Fund are authorized to issue their shares of beneficial interest;

WHEREAS, the Trust's Board has determined that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Fund and the Fund's shareholders and that the interests of the Fund's existing shareholders will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization; and

WHEREAS, the Acquiring Fund's Board has determined that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Acquiring Fund and the Acquiring Fund's shareholders and that the interests of the Acquiring Fund's existing shareholders will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization:

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:

1. THE REORGANIZATION.

1.1 Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, the Fund agrees to assign, transfer and convey to the Acquiring Fund all of the assets of the Fund, including all securities and cash (subject to liabilities), and the Acquiring Fund agrees in exchange therefor (a) to deliver to the Fund the number of Acquiring Fund Shares, including fractional Acquiring Fund Shares, determined as set forth in paragraph 2.3; and (b) to assume certain liabilities of the Fund, as set forth in paragraph 1.2. Such transactions shall take place at the closing (the "Closing") as of the close of business on the closing date (the "Closing Date"), provided for in paragraph 3.1. In lieu of delivering certificates for the Acquiring Fund Shares, the Acquiring Fund shall credit the Acquiring Fund Shares to the Fund's account on the books of the Acquiring Fund and shall deliver a confirmation thereof to the Fund.

1.2 The Fund will endeavor to discharge all of its known liabilities and obligations prior to the Closing Date. The Acquiring Fund shall assume all liabilities, expenses, costs, charges and reserves reflected on an unaudited statement of assets and liabilities of the Fund prepared by The Dreyfus Corporation ("Dreyfus"), as of the Valuation Date (as defined in paragraph 2.1), in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied from the prior audited period. The Acquiring Fund shall assume only those liabilities of the Fund reflected in that unaudited statement of assets and liabilities and shall not assume any other liabilities, whether absolute or contingent.

1.3 Delivery of the assets of the Fund to be transferred shall be made on the Closing Date and shall be delivered to The Bank of New York, One Wall Street, New York, New York 10286, the Acquiring Fund's custodian (the "Custodian"), for the account of the Acquiring Fund, with all securities not in bearer or book-entry form duly endorsed, or accompanied by duly executed separate assignments or stock powers, in proper form for transfer, with signatures guaranteed, and with all necessary stock transfer stamps, sufficient to transfer good and marketable title thereto (including all accrued interest and dividends and rights pertaining thereto) to the Custodian for the account of the Acquiring Fund free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, rights, restrictions and claims. All cash delivered shall be in the form of immediately available funds payable to the order of the Custodian for the account of the Acquiring Fund.

1.4 The Fund will pay or cause to be paid to the Acquiring Fund any interest received on or after the Closing Date with respect to assets transferred to the Acquiring Fund hereunder. The Fund will transfer to the Acquiring Fund any distributions, rights or other assets received by the Fund after the Closing Date as distributions on or with respect to the securities transferred. Such assets shall be deemed included in assets transferred to the Acquiring Fund on the Closing Date and shall not be separately valued.

1.5 As soon after the Closing Date as is conveniently practicable (the "Liquidation Date"), the Fund will liquidate and distribute pro rata to the Fund's Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders of record, determined as of the close of business on the Closing Date ("Fund Shareholders"), the corresponding class of Acquiring Fund Shares received by the Fund pursuant to paragraph 1.1. Such liquidation and distribution will be accomplished by the transfer of the Acquiring Fund Shares then credited to the account of the Fund on the books of the Acquiring Fund to open accounts on the share records of the Acquiring Fund in the names of the Fund Shareholders and representing the respective pro rata number of the applicable Acquiring Fund Shares due such shareholders. All issued and outstanding shares of the Fund simultaneously will be canceled on the books of the Fund; Fund share certificates, if any, will be exchanged for Acquiring Fund share certificates upon presentation to the Acquiring Fund's transfer agent.

1.6 Ownership of Acquiring Fund Shares will be shown on the books of the Acquiring Fund's transfer agent. Acquiring Fund Shares will be issued in the manner described in the Acquiring Fund's current prospectus and statement of additional information; the Acquiring Fund, however, will not issue share certificates in the Reorganization.

1.7 Any transfer taxes payable upon issuance of the Acquiring Fund Shares in a name other than the registered holder of the Acquiring Fund Shares on the books of the Fund as of that time shall, as a condition of such issuance and transfer, be paid by the person to whom such Acquiring Fund Shares are to be issued and transferred.

1.8 Any reporting responsibility of the Fund is and shall remain the responsibility of the Fund up to and including the Closing Date and such later date on which the Fund's existence is terminated.

2. VALUATION.

2.1 The value of the Fund's assets to be acquired, and the amount of the Fund's liabilities to be assumed, by the Acquiring Fund hereunder shall be computed as of the close of trading on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) on the Closing Date (such time and date being hereinafter called the "Valuation Date"), using the valuation procedures set forth in the Acquiring Fund's Declaration of Trust, as amended (the "Acquiring Fund's Declaration of Trust"), and the then-current prospectus or statement of additional information of the Acquiring Fund, which are and shall be consistent with the policies currently in effect for the Fund.

2.2 The net asset value of an Acquiring Fund Share shall be the net asset value per share computed as of the Valuation Date, using the valuation procedures set forth in the Acquiring Fund's Declaration of Trust and then-current prospectus or statement of additional information of the Acquiring Fund, which are and shall be consistent with the policies currently in effect for the Fund.

2.3 The number of Acquiring Fund Shares to be issued (including fractional shares, if any) in exchange for the Fund's net assets shall be determined by dividing the value of the net assets of the applicable class of the Fund determined using the same valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.1 by the net asset value of one Acquiring Fund Share of the corresponding class, determined in accordance with paragraph 2.2.

2.4 All computations of value shall be made in accordance with the regular practices of Dreyfus as fund accountant for the Fund and the Acquiring Fund.

3. CLOSING AND CLOSING DATE.

3.1 The Closing Date shall be November 27, 2007, or such other date as the parties, through their duly authorized officers, may mutually agree. All acts taking place at the Closing shall be deemed to take place simultaneously on the Closing Date unless otherwise provided. The Closing shall be held at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, at the offices of Dreyfus, 200 Park Avenue, 7^th Floor, New York, New York, or such other time and/or place as the parties may mutually agree.

3.2 The Custodian shall deliver at the Closing a certificate of an authorized officer stating that the Fund's portfolio securities, cash and any other assets have been delivered in proper form to the Acquiring Fund within two business days prior to or on the Closing Date.

3.3 If on the Valuation Date (a) the New York Stock Exchange or another primary trading market for portfolio securities of the Acquiring Fund or the Fund shall be closed to trading or trading thereon shall be restricted, or (b) trading or the reporting of trading on said Exchange or elsewhere shall be disrupted so that accurate appraisal of the value of the net assets of the Acquiring Fund or the Fund is impracticable, the Closing Date shall be postponed until the first business day after the day when trading shall have been fully resumed and reporting shall have been restored.

3.4 The transfer agent for the Fund shall deliver at the Closing a certificate of an authorized officer stating that its records contain the names and addresses of the Fund Shareholders and the number and percentage ownership of outstanding shares owned by each such shareholder immediately prior to the Closing. The Acquiring Fund's transfer agent shall issue and deliver to the Trust's Secretary a confirmation evidencing the Acquiring Fund Shares to be credited on the Closing Date, or provide evidence satisfactory to the Trust that such Acquiring Fund Shares have been credited to the Fund's account on the books of the Acquiring Fund. At the Closing, each party shall deliver to the other such bills of sale, checks, assignments, receipts or other documents as such other party or its counsel may reasonably request.

4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

(i) At the Closing Date, all federal and other tax returns and reports of the Fund required by law then to be filed shall have been filed, and all federal and other taxes shall have been paid so far as due, or provision shall have been made for the payment thereof, and to the best of the Fund's knowledge no such return is currently under audit and no assessment has been asserted with respect to such returns.

(j) For each taxable year of its operation (including the taxable year ending on the Closing Date), the Fund has met the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code for qualification and treatment as a regulated investment company.

(n) The proxy statement of the Fund (the "Proxy Statement") included in the Registration Statement referred to in paragraph 5.5 (other than information therein that has been furnished by the Acquiring Fund) will, on the effective date of the Registration Statement and on the Closing Date, not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not materially misleading.

(c) The current prospectus and statement of additional information of the Acquiring Fund conform in all material respects to the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and do not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading.

(d) The Acquiring Fund is not, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will not result, in material violation of the Acquiring Fund's Declaration of Trust or its By-Laws or of any agreement, indenture, instrument, contract, lease or other undertaking to which the Acquiring Fund is a party or by which the Acquiring Fund is bound.

(e) No litigation or administrative proceeding or investigation of or before any court or governmental body is currently pending or to its knowledge threatened against the Acquiring Fund or any of its properties or assets which, if adversely determined, would materially and adversely affect its financial condition or the conduct of its business. The Acquiring Fund knows of no facts which might form the basis for the institution of such proceedings, and is not a party to or subject to the provisions of any order, decree or judgment of any court or governmental body which materially and adversely affects its business or its ability to consummate the transactions contemplated herein.

(f) The Statements of Assets and Liabilities of the Acquiring Fund for each of its five fiscal years ended April 30, 2007 have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and such statements (copies of which have been furnished to the Fund) fairly reflect the financial condition of the Acquiring Fund as of such dates.

(g) Since April 30, 2007, there has not been any material adverse change in the Acquiring Fund's financial condition, assets, liabilities or business other than changes occurring in the ordinary course of business, or any incurrence by the Acquiring Fund of indebtedness maturing more than one year from the date such indebtedness was incurred, except as disclosed on the statement of assets and liabilities referred to in paragraph 4.2(f) hereof.

(h) At the Closing Date, all federal and other tax returns and reports of the Acquiring Fund required by law then to be filed shall have been filed, and all federal and other taxes shown as due on said returns and reports shall have been paid or provision shall have been made for the payment thereof, and to the best of the Acquiring Fund's knowledge no such return is currently under audit and no assessment has been asserted with respect to such returns.

(i) For each taxable year of its operation, the Acquiring Fund has met the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code for qualification and treatment as a regulated investment company.

(j) All issued and outstanding shares of the Acquiring Fund are, and at the Closing Date will be, duly and validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable by the Acquiring Fund. The Acquiring Fund does not have outstanding any options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any of the Acquiring Fund Shares, nor is there outstanding any security convertible into any Acquiring Fund Shares.

(k) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will have been duly authorized prior to the Closing Date by all necessary action on the part of the Acquiring Fund's Board and, subject to the approval of the Fund's shareholders, this Agreement will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Acquiring Fund, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally and court decisions with respect thereto, and to general principles of equity and the discretion of the court (regardless of whether the enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(l) The Proxy Statement included in the Registration Statement (only insofar as it relates to the Acquiring Fund and is based on information furnished by the Acquiring Fund) will, on the effective date of the Registration Statement and on the Closing Date, not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not materially misleading.

(m) No consideration other than the Acquiring Fund Shares (and the Acquiring Fund's assumption of the Fund's stated liabilities) will be issued in exchange for the Fund's assets in the Reorganization.

(n) The Acquiring Fund does not directly or indirectly own, nor on the Closing Date will it directly or indirectly own, nor has it directly or indirectly owned at any time during the past five years, any shares of the Fund.

7. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO OBLIGATIONS OF THE FUND.

8. FURTHER CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO OBLIGATIONS OF THE FUND AND THE ACQUIRING FUND.

If any of the conditions set forth below do not exist on or before the Closing Date with respect to the Fund or the Acquiring Fund, the other party to this Agreement shall, at its option, not be required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

8.1 This Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein shall have been approved by the requisite vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of the Fund in accordance with the provisions of the Trust's Declaration of Trust and the 1940 Act.

8.2 On the Closing Date, no action, suit or other proceeding shall be pending before any court or governmental agency in which it is sought to restrain or prohibit, or obtain damages or other relief in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein.

8.6 The Fund and Acquiring Fund shall have received an opinion of Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP substantially to the effect that based on the facts and assumptions stated herein and conditioned on consummation of the Reorganization in accordance with this Agreement, for federal income tax purposes:

(a) The transfer of all of the Fund's assets to the Acquiring Fund in exchange solely for the Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of certain identified liabilities of the Fund, followed by the distribution by the Fund of those Acquiring Fund Shares to Fund Shareholders in complete liquidation of the Fund, will qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and each of the Fund and the Acquiring Fund will be "a party to a reorganization"; (b) no gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquiring Fund upon the receipt of the assets of the Fund in exchange solely for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of certain identified liabilities of the Fund pursuant to the Reorganization; (c) no gain or loss will be recognized by the Fund upon the transfer of the Fund's assets to the Acquiring Fund in exchange solely for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of certain identified liabilities of the Fund or upon the distribution (whether actual or constructive) of those Acquiring Fund Shares to Fund Shareholders in exchange for their shares of the Fund in liquidation of the Fund pursuant to the Reorganization; (d) no gain or loss will be recognized by Fund Shareholders upon the exchange of their Fund shares for the Acquiring Fund Shares pursuant to the Reorganization; (e) the aggregate tax basis for the Acquiring Fund Shares received by each Fund Shareholder pursuant to the Reorganization will be the same as the aggregate tax basis of the Fund shares held by such Shareholder immediately prior to the Reorganization, and the holding period of those Acquiring Fund Shares received by each Fund Shareholder will include the period during which the Fund shares exchanged therefor were held by such Shareholder (provided the Fund shares were held as capital assets on the date of the Reorganization); and (f) the tax basis of each Fund asset acquired by the Acquiring Fund will be the same as the tax basis of such asset to the Fund immediately prior to the Reorganization, and the holding period of each asset of the Fund in the hands of the Acquiring Fund will include the period during which that asset was held by the Fund.

In rendering its opinion, counsel may rely as to factual matters, exclusively and without independent verification, on the representations and warranties made in this Agreement, which counsel may treat as representations and warranties made to it, and in separate letters addressed to counsel and the certificates delivered pursuant to this Agreement.

No opinion will be expressed as to the effect of the Reorganization on (i) the Fund or the Acquiring Fund with respect to any asset as to which any unrealized gain or loss is required to be recognized for federal income tax purposes at the end of a taxable year (or on the termination or transfer thereof) under a mark-to-market system of accounting, and (ii) any shareholder of the Fund that is required to recognize unrealized gains and losses for federal income tax purposes under a mark-to-market system of accounting.

9. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT; EXPENSES.

9.1 This Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby may be terminated and abandoned by resolution of the Board of the Trust or of the Acquiring Fund, as the case may be, at any time prior to the Closing Date (and notwithstanding any vote of the Fund's shareholders) if circumstances should develop that, in the opinion of the party's Board, make proceeding with the Reorganization inadvisable.

9.2 If this Agreement is terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby are abandoned pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9, this Agreement shall become void and have no effect, without any liability on the part of any party hereto or the Board members or officers of the Trust or the Acquiring Fund, or shareholders of the Fund or of the Acquiring Fund, as the case may be, in respect of this Agreement.

9.3 The Fund and the Acquiring Fund shall bear the aggregate expenses of the transactions contemplated hereby in proportion to their respective net assets.

10. WAIVER.

11. MISCELLANEOUS.

11.1 None of the representations and warranties included or provided for herein shall survive consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

11.2 This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and merges and supersedes all prior discussions, agreements and understandings of every kind and nature between them relating to the subject matter hereof. Neither party shall be bound by any condition, definition, warranty or representation, other than as set forth or provided in this Agreement or as may be, on or subsequent to the date hereof, set forth in a writing signed by the party to be bound thereby.

11.3 This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws; provided, however, that the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and the Acquiring Fund, shall be governed and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws; provided that, in the case of any conflict between those laws and federal securities laws, the latter shall govern.

11.4 This Agreement may be amended only by a signed writing between the parties.

11.5 This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original.

11.6 This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, but no assignment or transfer hereof or of any rights or obligations hereunder shall be made by any party without the written consent of the other party. Nothing herein expressed or implied is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give any person, firm or corporation, other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

11.7 It is expressly agreed that the obligations of the parties hereunder shall not be binding upon any of the Board members or officers of the Trust or the Acquiring Fund, or shareholders, nominees, agents, or employees of the Fund or the Acquiring Fund personally, but shall bind only the property of the Fund or the Acquiring Fund, as the case may be, as provided in the Trust's Declaration of Trust or the Acquiring Fund's Declaration of Trust, respectively; a copy of each of the Trust's and the Acquiring Fund's Declaration of Trust is on file at the office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and at the Trust's and Acquiring Fund's principal offices. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such officers shall not be deemed to have been made by any of them individually or to impose any liability on any of them personally, but shall bind only the property of the Fund or the Acquiring Fund, as the case may be.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and the Acquiring Fund have caused this Agreement and Plan of Reorganization to be executed and attested on its behalf by its duly authorized representatives as of the date first above written.

Dreyfus Premier Municipal Bond Fund

NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 — Basis of Combination:

At a meeting of the Board held on July 24, 2007, the Board of Trustees of Dreyfus Premier Municipal Bond Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”) and Dreyfus Premier State Municipal Bond Fund, on behalf of the Florida Series (the "Fund"), each approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization pursuant to which, subject to approval by Fund shareholders, the Fund will transfer all of its assets, subject to its liabilities, to the Acquiring Fund, in exchange for a number of Class A, Class B and Class C shares of the Acquiring Fund, equal in value to the assets less liabilities of the Fund (the “Exchange”). The Acquiring Fund shares then will be distributed to the Fund’s shareholders on a pro rata basis in liquidation of the Funds. Fund shareholders will receive shares of the corresponding class of shares of the Acquiring Fund in the Exchange.

The Exchange will be accounted for as a tax-free merger of investment companies. The unaudited pro forma statement of investments and statement of assets and liabilities reflect the financial position of the Acquiring Fund and the Fund at April 30, 2007. The unaudited pro forma statement of operations reflects the results of operations of the Acquiring Fund and the Fund for the twelve months ended April 30, 2007. These statements have been derived from the Fund’s and the Acquiring Fund’s respective books and records utilized in calculating daily net asset value at the dates indicated above under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets. The historical cost of investment securities will be carried forward to the surviving entity and results of operations of the Acquiring Fund for pre-combination periods will not be restated. The fiscal year ends are April 30 for the Acquiring Fund and Fund.

The pro forma statements of investments, assets and liabilities and operations should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Funds and the Acquiring Fund included or incorporated by reference in the respective Statements of Additional Information. The pro forma combined financial statements are presented for information only and may not necessarily be representative of what the actual combined financial statements would have been had the reorganization occurred at April 30, 2007. The proforma financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Following the proposed merger, the Acquiring Fund will be the accounting survivor.

All costs with respect to the Exchange will be borne by the funds.

The funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The funds do not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

NOTE 2 — Portfolio Valuation:

Investments in securities are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the respective fund’s Board of Trustees. Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Other investments (which constitute a majority of the portfolio securities) are carried at fair value as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. Securities for which there are no such valuations are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the respective Board.

NOTE 3 — Capital Shares:

The pro forma number of shares that would be issuable was calculated by dividing the net assets of the Funds at April 30, 2007 by Class A, Class B and Class C shares net asset value per share of the Acquiring Fund on April 30, 2007.

NOTE 4 — Pro Forma Operating Expenses:

The accompanying pro forma statement of operations reflects changes in fund expenses as if the merger had taken place on May 1, 2006. The funds will bear the expense of the merger.

NOTE 5 — Federal Income Taxes:

Each fund has qualified as a “regulated investment company” under the Internal Revenue Code. After the Exchange, the Acquiring Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

The identified cost of investments for the funds is substantially the same for both financial accounting and federal income tax purposes. The tax cost of investments will remain unchanged for the combined entity.
