2 BIF MULTI-STATE MUNICIPAL SERIES TRUST MARCH 31, 2011
Dear Shareholder
Over the past 12 months, we have seen a sluggish, stimulus-driven economic recovery at long last gain real traction, accelerate, and transition
into a consumption-driven expansion. For the most part, 2010 was plagued with widely fluctuating economic data, but as the year drew to a close,
it became clear that cyclical stimulus had beaten out structural problems as economic data releases generally became more positive and
financial markets showed signs of continuing improvement. Although the sovereign debt crises and emerging market inflation that troubled
the global economy in 2010 remain a challenge today, overall investor sentiment had improved considerably. In the first quarter of 2011,
significant global events gave rise to new concerns about the future of the global economy. Political turmoil spread across the Middle
East/North Africa (“MENA”) region, oil and other commodity prices soared, and markets recoiled as the nuclear crisis unfolded in the
wake of a 9.0-magnitude earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in March. These events shook investor confidence, but the global
economic recovery would not be derailed.
In the United States, strength from the corporate sector and increasing consumer spending have been key drivers of economic growth,
while the housing and labor markets have been the heaviest burdens. While housing has yet to show any meaningful sign of improvement,
labor statistics have become increasingly positive in recent months.
Global equity markets experienced uneven growth and high volatility over the course of 2010, but ended the year strong. Following a strong
start to 2011, the aforementioned headwinds brought high volatility back to equity markets. A pick up in inflationary pressures caused
emerging market equities to underperform developed markets, where threats of inflation remained relatively subdued. Overall, equities
posted strong returns for the 12-month period. US stocks out-paced most international markets and small cap stocks outperformed
large caps as investors moved into higher-risk assets.
Fixed income markets saw yields trend lower over most of 2010, until the fourth quarter brought an abrupt reversal in sentiment
and risk tolerance that droveyields sharply upward (pushing bond prices down) through year end. Improving economic data
continued to pressure fixed income yields in 2011; however, escalating geopolitical risks have acted as a counterweight, restoring
relative stability to yield movements. Global credit markets were surprisingly resilient in the face of major headwinds during the
first quarter. Yield curves globally remained steep by historical standards and higher-risk sectors continued to outperform
higher-quality assets.
The tax-exempt municipal market enjoyed a powerful rally during the period of low interest rates in 2010; however, when the yield
trend reversed, the market was dealt an additional blow as it became evident that the Build America Bond program would expire at
year end. In addition, negative headlines regarding fiscal challenges faced by state and local governments damaged investor
confidence and further heightened volatility in the municipal market. Tax-exempt mutual funds experienced heavy outflows,
resulting in wider quality spreads and further downward pressure on municipal bond prices. These headwinds began to
abate in 2011 and the tax-exempt municipal market staged a mild rebound in the first quarter.
Cash investments, as represented by the 3-month Treasury bill, returned only a fraction over 0% for the 12-month period as
short-term interest rates remained low. Yields on money market securities remain near all-time lows.

Money Market Overview
For the Period Ended March 31, 2011
Throughout the 12-month period ended March 31, 2011, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) maintained the target range for the federal funds
rate at 0.00% to 0.25% while remaining consistent in its position that economic conditions were likely to warrant “exceptionally low levels of the federal
funds rate for an extended period.” At its March 15, 2011 meeting, the FOMC acknowledged that labor markets “appear to be improving gradually” and that
household spending and business investment continue to expand. The FOMC also confirmed its intention to continue the policy it announced in November
2010 to purchase $600 billion of longer-term Treasury securities by the end of June 2011. While these large-scale asset purchases have the intent of keep-
ing interest rates low, they also result in a reduced supply of overnight repurchase agreements due to the limited amount of longer-term Treasury securities
available to collateralize them. As the United States approached its national debt ceiling in early 2011, the US Treasury announced its intention to gradually
reduce the balance of its Supplementary Financing Program account from $200 billion to $5 billion by letting currently outstanding Treasury bills mature
without rolling them over. This action has the effect of increasing reserves in the banking system while reducing the supply of Treasury bills. The tightening in
supply of Treasury bills and overnight repurchase agreements drove rates down on those instruments toward the end of the period.
Early in May 2010, heightened concerns about sovereign risk in certain peripheral European countries led to increased financial market volatility and
upward pressure on the London Interbank Offered Rates (LIBOR settings). To improve liquidity conditions in US dollar short-term credit markets in Europe,
the US Federal Reserve Bank reestablished temporary US dollar liquidity swap facilities with the European Central Bank (ECB), while the ECB established
long-term financing operations of various tenors to provide additional liquidity to the market. The European Union (EU), the ECB and the International
Monetary Fund announced a coordinated package of financial aid totaling Euro 750 billion (close to $1 trillion in US dollar terms). Ultimately, the tone of the
short-term credit markets improved, and LIBOR settings stabilized, by the end of June 2010. In a continued effort to further strengthen the Euro-zone finan-
cial system, at its summit held in March 2011, the European Union adopted a preliminary framework to address the size and scope of financial stability
mechanisms, bank stress tests, fiscal reform, and surveillance of macroeconomic imbalances. Short-dated LIBOR settings finished the period unchanged
on a year-over-year basis. The slope of the LIBOR curve as measured from one month to one year, flattened by 14 basis points, led by a decline in the one-
year LIBOR setting.
In the tax-exempt space, historically low rates resulted in an overall decline in money fund assets over the past 12 months. The seven-day Securities
Industry and Financial Markets Association Index remained in a tight range around 0.28%, its average rate for the annual period. While tax-exempt money
market funds, which are comprised primarily of municipal variable rate demand notes (VRDNs), experienced declining assets during the period, non-
traditional buyers stepped into the tax-exempt market, which kept dealer inventories low and manageable throughout the year. Non-traditional buyers were
drawn to the favorable yields offered on VRDNs, which served as an attractive alternative to asset-backed commercial paper, where supply had dwindled.
Demand for VRDNs was further supported by recent regulatory amendments requiring higher levels of liquidity in money market funds.
Although municipal issuers have limited the new supply of VRDNs, the market has turned its focus to the expiration of bank commitments enhancing over
$100 billion of outstanding municipal VRDNs in 2011. As of this writing, issuers have been replacing the expiring commitments according to schedule and
without difficulty. Additional banks are increasing their participation in the space, which provides better diversification for municipal money market funds.
State and local governments continued to struggle with budget shortfalls and reduced their overall issuance of municipal notes. The one-year municipal
yield remained relatively stable throughout the year, hovering around 0.38%, as measured by Thomson Municipal Market Data.

Disclosure of Expenses
Shareholders of each Fund may incur the following charges: (a) expenses
related to transactions, including sales charges, redemption fees and
exchange fees; and (b) operating expenses including advisory fees, distri-
bution fees including 12b-1 fees, and other Fund expenses. The expense
example below (which is based on a hypothetical investment of $1,000
invested on October 1, 2010 and held through March 31, 2011) is
intended to assist shareholders both in calculating expenses based on
an investment in each Fund and in comparing these expenses with similar
costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The first table provides information about actual account values and actual
expenses. In order to estimate the expenses a shareholder paid during the
period covered by this report, shareholders can divide their account value by
$1,000 and then multiply the result by the number for their Fund in the
first table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period.”
The second table provides information about hypothetical account values
and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and
an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. In order to assist
shareholders in comparing the ongoing expenses of investing in these Funds
and other funds, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypo-
thetical examples that appear in other funds’ shareholder reports.
The expenses shown in the tables are intended to highlight shareholders’
ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional expenses, such as
sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical
examples are useful in comparing ongoing expenses only, and will not
help shareholders determine the relative total expenses of owning different
funds. If these transactional expenses were included, shareholder expenses
would have been higher.

Schedule of Investments (concluded)
• Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of
investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial state-
ment purposes as follows:
• Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets
and liabilities
• Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for
similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical
or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than
quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest
rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and
default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)
• Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the
circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the
Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an
indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information
about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant
accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the inputs used as of March 31, 2011 in determin-
ing the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments:

similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical
or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than
quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest
rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and
default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)
• Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the

Schedule of Investments (concluded)
• Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of
investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial state-
ment purposes as follows:
• Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets
and liabilities
• Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for
similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical
or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than
quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest
rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and
default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)
• Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the
circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the
Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an
indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information
about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant
accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the inputs used as of March 31, 2011 in determin-
ing the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments:

• Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of
investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial state-
ment purposes as follows:
• Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets
and liabilities
• Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for
similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical
or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than
quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest
rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and
default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)
• Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the
circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the
Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an
indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information
about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant
accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the inputs used as of March 31, 2011 in determin-
ing the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments:

similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical
or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than
quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest
rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and
default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)
• Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the
circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the
Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an
indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information

• Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of
investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial state-
ment purposes as follows:
• Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets
and liabilities
•Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for
similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical
or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than
quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest
rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and
default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)
• Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the
circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the
Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an
indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information
about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant
accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the inputs used as of March 31, 2011 in determin-
ing the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments:

BIF MULTI-STATE MUNICIPAL SERIES TRUST MARCH 31, 2011 43
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:
BIF Arizona Municipal Money Fund (formerly CMA Arizona Municipal Money
Fund) (“BIF Arizona”), BIF California Municipal Money Fund (formerly CMA
California Municipal Money Fund) (“BIF California”), BIF Connecticut
Municipal Money Fund (formerly CMA Connecticut Municipal Money Fund)
(“BIF Connecticut”), BIF Florida Municipal Money Fund (formerly CMA
Florida Municipal Money Fund) (“BIF Florida”), BIF Massachusetts
Municipal Money Fund (formerly CMA Massachusetts Municipal Money
Fund) (“BIF Massachusetts”), BIF Michigan Municipal Money Fund (for-
merly CMA Michigan Municipal Money Fund) (“BIF Michigan”), BIF New
Jersey Municipal Money Fund (formerly CMA New Jersey Municipal Money
Fund) (“BIF New Jersey”), BIF New York Municipal Money Fund (formerly
CMA New York Municipal Money Fund) (“BIF New York”), BIF North Carolina
Municipal Money Fund (formerly CMA North Carolina Municipal Money
Fund) (“BIF North Carolina”), BIF Ohio Municipal Money Fund (formerly
CMA Ohio Municipal Money Fund) (“BIF Ohio”) and BIF Pennsylvania
Municipal Money Fund (formerly CMA Pennsylvania Municipal Money Fund)
(“BIF Pennsylvania”) (collectively, the “Funds”) are part of BIF Multi-State
Municipal Series Trust (formerly CMA Multi-State Municipal Series Trust)
(the “Trust”). The Trust is organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the “1940 Act”), as non-diversified, open-end management
investment companies. The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America ("US GAAP"), which may require management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclo-
sures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
the Funds:
Valuation: US GAAP defines fair value as the price the Funds would receive
to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. The Funds' invest-
ments are valued under the amortized cost method which approximates
current market value in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Under
this method, investments are valued at cost when purchased and there-
after, a constant proportionate accretion and amortization of any discounts
and premiums are recorded until the maturity of the security. Each Fund
seeks to maintain its net asset value per share at $1.00, although there is
no assurance that it will be able to do so on a continuing basis.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting
purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transac-
tions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on
investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis.
Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of
discount on debt securities, is recognized on the accrual basis.
Dividends and Distributions: Dividends from net investment income are
declared and reinvested daily and paid monthly. Distributions of realized
gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing
of dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal
income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP.
Income Taxes: It is each Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated
investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable
income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision
is required.
Each Fund files US federal and various state and local tax returns. No
income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limita-
tions on the Funds' US federal tax returns remains open for each of the
four years ended March 31, 2011. The statutes of limitations on each
Fund’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year
depending upon the jurisdiction. Management does not believe there are
any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Other: Expenses directly related to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Other
operating expenses shared by several funds are pro rated among those
funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. The
Funds have an arrangement with the custodian whereby fees may be
reduced by credits earned on uninvested cash balances, which if applica-
ble are shown as fees paid indirectly in the Statements of Operations. The
custodian imposes fees on overdrawn cash balances, which can be offset
by accumulated credits earned or may result in additional custody charges.
2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions
with Affiliates:
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. ("PNC"), Bank of America
Corporation ("BAC") and Barclays Bank PLC ("Barclays") are the largest
stockholders of BlackRock, Inc. ("BlackRock"). Due to the ownership
structure, PNC is an affiliate of the Funds for 1940 Act purposes, but
BAC and Barclays are not.
The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, entered into an Investment Advisory
Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Funds'
investment advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock,
to provide investment advisory and administration services.
The Manager is responsible for the management of each Fund's portfolio
and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain
other services necessary to the operations of each Fund. For such services,
each Fund pays the Manager a monthly fee based on the average daily
value of each Fund’s net assets at the following annual rates:
| |
Not exceeding $500 million | 0.500% |
In excess of $500 million, but not exceeding $1 billion | 0.425% |
In excess of $1 billion | 0.375% |
The Manager entered into a sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock
Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), an affiliate of the Manager. The
Manager pays BIM for services it provides, a monthly fee that is a percent-
age of the investment advisory fees paid by each Fund to the Manager.
44 BIF MULTI-STATE MUNICIPAL SERIES TRUST MARCH 31, 2011
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
For the year ended March 31, 2011, each Fund reimbursed the Manager
for certain accounting services, which are included in accounting services
in the Statements of Operations. The reimbursements were as follows:
| |
BIF Arizona | $ 712 |
BIF California | $23,213 |
BIF Connecticut | $ 5,129 |
BIF Florida | $ 1,670 |
BIF Massachusetts | $ 3,562 |
BIF Michigan | $ 1,964 |
BIF New Jersey | $12,871 |
BIF New York | $21,646 |
BIF North Carolina | $ 1,031 |
BIF Ohio | $ 4,036 |
BIF Pennsylvania | $ 3,187 |
The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, entered into a Distribution Agreement and
Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) with
BlackRock Investments, LLC (”BRIL“), an affiliate of BlackRock.
Pursuant to the Distribution Plan adopted by the Trust on behalf of the
Funds in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, each Fund
pays BRIL a distribution fee. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly
at an annual rate of 0.125% of the average daily value of each Fund’s
net assets.
The Manager and BRIL voluntarily agreed to waive management and
distribution fees and reimburse operating expenses to enable the Funds to
maintain a minimum daily net investment income dividend. These amounts
are reported in the Statements of Operations as fees waived by advisor
and distribution fees waived. The Manager and BRIL may discontinue the
waiver or reimbursement at any time.
Certain officers and/or trustees of the Trust are officers and /or directors
of BlackRock or its affiliates. The Funds reimburse the Manager for com-
pensation paid to the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer.
3. Income Tax Information:
Reclassifications: US GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax report-
ing. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The following permanent differences as of March 31, 2011 attributa-
ble to the use of equalization were reclassified to the following accounts:
| | | | | | |
| BIF | BIF | BIF | BIF | BIF | BIF |

Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred by the Funds after March 31, 2011 will not
be subject to expiration. In addition, these losses must be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years.
4. Market and Credit Risk:
In the normal course of business, the Funds invest in securities and enter
into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market
risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (issuer
credit risk). The value of securities held by the Funds may decline in
response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers
whose securities are owned by the Funds; conditions affecting the general
economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social
or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctua-
tions. Similar to issuer credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counter-
party credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Funds have
unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its
commitments. The Funds manage counterparty credit risk by entering into
transactions only with counterparties that they believe have the financial
resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability
of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the
Funds to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of
financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent
of the Funds' exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with
respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by their value
recorded in the Funds' Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less any
collateral held by the Funds.
5. Capital Share Transactions:
The number of shares sold, reinvested and redeemed correspond to the
net proceeds from the sale of shares, reinvestment of dividends and
distributions and cost of shares redeemed, respectively, since shares
are sold and redeemed at $1.00 per share.
6. Subsequent Events:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the
Funds through the date the financial statements were issued and has
determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment
or additional disclosure in the financial statements.
46 BIF MULTI-STATE MUNICIPAL SERIES TRUST MARCH 31, 2011
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
BIF Multi-State Municipal Series Trust:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the schedules of investments, of BIF Multi-State Municipal
Series Trust (formerly CMA Multi-State Municipal Series Trust) (the Trust”),
comprised of the BIF Arizona Municipal Money Fund (formerly CMA Arizona
Municipal Money Fund), BIF California Municipal Money Fund (formerly
CMA California Municipal Money Fund), BIF Connecticut Municipal Money
Fund (formerly CMA Connecticut Municipal Money Fund), BIF Florida
Municipal Money Fund (formerly CMA Florida Municipal Money Fund),
BIF Massachusetts Municipal Money Fund (formerly CMA Massachusetts
Municipal Money Fund), BIF Michigan Municipal Money Fund (formerly
CMA Michigan Municipal Money Fund), BIF New Jersey Municipal Money
Fund (formerly CMA New Jersey Municipal Money Fund), BIF New York
Municipal Money Fund (formerly CMA New York Municipal Money Fund),
BIF North Carolina Municipal Money Fund (formerly CMA North Carolina
Municipal Money Fund), BIF Ohio Municipal Money Fund (formerly CMA
Ohio Municipal Money Fund) and BIF Pennsylvania Municipal Money
Fund (formerly CMA Pennsylvania Municipal Money Fund) (collectively,
the “Funds”) as of March 31, 2011, and the related statements of opera-
tions for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets
for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial high-
lights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial
statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of
material misstatement. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we
engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.
Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting
as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the cir-
cumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effec-
tiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly,
we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant esti-
mates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities
owned as of March 31, 2011, by correspondence with the custodian and
brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other
auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each
of the Funds constituting BIF Multi-State Municipal Series Trust as of March
31, 2011, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the
changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then
ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period
then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.

expert serving on its audit committee and (ii) each audit committee financial expert is
independent:

The following table presents fees billed by D&T that were required to be approved by the
registrant’s audit committee (the “Committee”) for services that relate directly to the
operations or financial reporting of the Fund and that are rendered on behalf of BlackRock
Advisors, LLC (“Investment Adviser” or “BlackRock”) and entities controlling, controlled
by, or under common control with BlackRock (not including any sub-adviser whose role is
primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment
adviser) that provide ongoing services to the Fund (“Fund Service Providers”):
| | |
| Current Fiscal Year End | Previous Fiscal Year End |
(b) Audit-Related Fees1 | $0 | $0 |
(c) Tax Fees2 | $0 | $0 |
(d) All Other Fees3 | $3,030,000 | $2,950,000 |
1 The nature of the services include assurance and related services reasonably related to the performance of the audit of financial statements
not included in Audit Fees.
2 The nature of the services include tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning.
3 The nature of the services include a review of compliance procedures and attestation thereto.
(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:
The Committee has adopted policies and procedures with regard to the pre-approval
of services. Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to the registrant on
an annual basis require specific pre-approval by the Committee. The Committee also must
approve other non-audit services provided to the registrant and those non-audit services
provided to the Fund Service Providers that relate directly to the operations and the financial
reporting of the registrant. Certain of these non-audit services that the Committee believes
are a) consistent with the SEC’s auditor independence rules and b) routine and recurring
services that will not impair the independence of the independent accountants may be
approved by the Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general
pre-approval”). The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of the pre-
approval, unless the Committee provides for a different period. Tax or other non-audit
services provided to the registrant which have a direct impact on the operations or financial
reporting of the registrant will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual
project does not exceed $10,000 attributable to the registrant or $50,000 per project. For
this purpose, multiple projects will be aggregated to determine if they exceed the previously
mentioned cost levels.
Any proposed services exceeding the pre-approved cost levels will require specific
pre-approval by the Committee, as will any other services not subject to general pre-
approval (e.g., unanticipated but permissible services). The Committee is informed of each
service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person
board meeting. At this meeting, an analysis of such services is presented to the Committee
for ratification. The Committee may delegate to the Committee Chairman the authority to
approve the provision of and fees for any specific engagement of permitted non-audit
services, including services exceeding pre-approved cost levels.
(e)(2) None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by
the Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception in paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of
Regulation S-X.
(f) Not Applicable
(g) The aggregate non-audit fees paid to the accountant for services rendered by the
accountant to the registrant and Investment Adviser (not including any non-affiliated sub-
adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is sub-contracted with or
overseen by the registrant’s investment adviser) and the Fund Service Providers were:

(h) The Committee has considered and determined that the provision of non-audit services
that were rendered to the Fund’s Investment Adviser (not including any non-affiliated sub-
adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen
by the registrant’s investment adviser), and the Fund Service Providers that were not pre-
approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with
maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
