The Supreme Court decision, in Department of Revenue of Kentucky v. Davis, rejected the Kentucky court's holding that Kentucky's differential tax treatment of in-state as against out-of-state municipal bonds violated the "negative" or "dormant" Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution. In the view of many observers, the Supreme Court decision effectively rejected an implicit threat to a widespread tax practice, followed by most states, upon which the investment operations of single-state municipal bond funds like the Trust depend.
