Re:  State Bond Diversified Fund, 1933 Act Registration Statement No. 2-22365

Dear Sirs:

This opinion is furnished in connection with the filing by State Bond Investment
Funds, Inc. (the "Fund") of a Notice (the "Notice") pursuant to Rule 24f-2 (the 
"Rule") under the Investment Company Act of 1940 relating to the registration by
the Fund under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act") of an indefinite 
number of shares. The Fund is a corporation organized under the laws of the 
State of Maryland on April 17, 1964. In reliance upon the Rule, $5,213,193 of
shares were sold in the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 (the "Shares"). The 
Shares are described in the prospectus included in the registration statement on
Form N1-A, as amended.

I have examined all such corporate records of the Fund and such other documents 
and such laws as I consider appropriate as a basis for the opinion hereinafter 
expressed. On the basis of such examination, it is my opinion that:

1.  The Fund is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws
    of the state of Maryland.

2.  The Shares, the registration of which the Notice makes definite in number, 
    are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.


Sincerely,


 /s/Kevin L. Howard
