EXHIBIT ITEM: Copies of any material amendments to the
registrant's charter or by-laws

Amendment Effective February 1, 2018
To the By-Laws of
Franklin Tax-Free Trust
(the "Trust")

WHEREAS, Article VIII, Section 2 of the By-Laws provides
that the By-Laws may be amended by the Board of Trustees; and

WHEREAS, by resolutions adopted October 24, 2017 at a meeting
of the Board of Trustees of the Trust, the Board of
Trustees unanimously authorized the By-Laws to be amended
as set forth below.

NOW THEREFORE, the By-Laws are hereby amended as follows:

1.	ARTICLE VII, Sections 3, 4 and 6 are replaced in their
entirety with the following:



Section 3.	CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES.  No certificate or certificates
for Shares shall be issued to Shareholders and no Shareholder shall
 have the right to demand or require that a certificate for Shares
 be issued to it.  The Trust shall adopt and use a system of issuance,
recordation and transfer of its shares by electronic or other means.
Section 4.	LOST CERTIFICATES.  No new certificate for Shares
shall be issued to replace an old certificate that is surrendered
to the Trust for cancellation.  In case any Share certificate or
certificate for any other security is lost, stolen, or destroyed,
such certificate shall be cancelled and the ownership of an
uncertificated Share shall be recorded upon the books of
the Trust, on such terms and conditions as the Board may require,
 including a provision for indemnification of the Board and
the Trust secured by a bond or other adequate security sufficient
 to protect the Trust and the Board against any claim that may
be made against either, including any expense or liability on
account of the alleged loss, theft, or destruction of the certificate.


Section 6.	TRANSFERS OF SHARES.  Shares are transferable, if authorized by
 the Declaration of Trust, only on the record books of the Trust by the
 Person in whose name such Shares are registered, or by his or her duly
 authorized attorney-in-fact or representative.  Upon receipt of
proper transfer instructions from the registered owner of
certificated Shares, and upon the surrender for cancellation
of such certificates representing the number of Shares to
 be transferred with an assignment and power of transfer
 endorsed thereon or attached thereto, duly executed, with
such proof of the authenticity of the signature as the Trust
or its agents may reasonably require, the Trust shall
cancel the old certificate and record the transaction
and ownership of uncertificated Shares upon the books
of the Trust.  Upon receipt of proper transfer instructions
 from the registered owner of uncertificated Shares,
such uncertificated Shares shall be transferred on the
record books to the Person entitled thereto.
The Trust, its transfer agent or other duly authorized
agents may refuse any requested transfer of Shares, or
 request additional evidence of authority to safeguard
the assets or interests of the Trust or of its Shareholders,
in their sole discretion.  In all cases of transfer by an
 attorney-in-fact, the original power of attorney, or an
official copy thereof duly certified, shall be deposited and
 remain with the Trust, its transfer agent or other duly
 authorized agent.  In case of transfers by executors,
administrators, guardians or other legal representatives,
duly authenticated evidence of their authority shall be
 presented to the Trust, its transfer agent or other duly
authorized agent, and may be required to be deposited and
remain with the Trust, its transfer agent or other duly
authorized agent.


Adopted and approved as of October 24, 2017 by the Board of Trustees.
