                         AIM TAX-FREE INTERMEDIATE FUND
                     AIM TAX-EXEMPT BOND FUND OF CONNECTICUT
                         AIM HIGH INCOME MUNICIPAL FUND

                       Supplement dated December 14, 2000
        to the Statement of Additional Information dated July 28, 2000,
              as supplemented August 4, 2000 and September 29, 2000

This supplement supersedes and replaces in its entirety the supplements dated
August 4, 2000 and September 29, 2000.

The following replaces in its entirety the fourth paragraph appearing under the
heading "INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISKS -- MUNICIPAL SECURITIES" on page 12 of
the Statement of Additional Information:

                  "Also included in "municipal securities" are municipal lease
         obligations, which may take the form of a lease, an installment
         purchase or a conditional sales contract. Municipal lease obligations
         are issued by state and local governments and authorities to acquire
         land, equipment and facilities such as state and municipal vehicles,
         telecommunications and computer equipment, and other capital assets.
         Interest payments on qualifying municipal leases are exempt from
         federal income taxes. AIM HIGH INCOME MUNICIPAL FUND and AIM TAX-EXEMPT
         BOND FUND OF CONNECTICUT may purchase these obligations directly, or
         they may purchase participation interests in such obligations.
         Municipal leases are generally subject to greater risks than general
         obligation or revenue bonds. State laws set forth requirements that
         states or municipalities must meet in order to issue municipal
         obligations, and such obligations may contain a covenant by the issuer
         to budget for, appropriate, and make payments due under the obligation.
         However, certain municipal lease obligations may contain
         "non-appropriation" clauses which provide that the issuer is not
         obligated to make payments on the obligation in future years unless
         funds have been appropriated for this purpose each year. Accordingly,
         such obligations are subject to "non-appropriation" risk. While
         municipal leases are secured by the underlying capital asset, it may be
         difficult to dispose of such assets in the event of non-appropriation
         or other default. All direct investments by the Funds in municipal
         lease obligations shall be deemed illiquid and shall be valued
         according to each Fund's Procedures for Valuing Securities current at
         the time of such valuation."

The following replaces in its entirely the table appearing under the heading
"MANAGEMENT - TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS" on page 28, 29 and 30 of the Statement of
Additional Information:
