Legal & Compliance Division

BIOS Homes operates with a clear commitment to transparency, structure, and regulatory responsibility. Our Legal & Compliance Division exists to protect our mission, our people, and the communities we serve — from contracts to compliance, from intellectual property to DAO governance.

🔐 Core Responsibilities

Contract drafting and review for modular sales, partner agreements, and vendor relationships
IP protection for BIOS innovations, including hemp-based building material patents and BIOS Coin architecture
State and federal housing compliance, including land use, energy, and zoning laws
Risk mitigation and legal readiness for all 12 divisions
Advising on DAO structuring, smart contract legality, and jurisdictional frameworks for blockchain governance

📜 Process Overview

1. Contract Lifecycle Management

All BIOS contracts follow a four-step lifecycle:

Drafting: Led by legal counsel, in collaboration with division leadership
Review: Reviewed against internal playbooks and compliance checklists
Execution: Digital signature platforms and on-chain recordkeeping (planned)
Audit & Archive: Stored securely with version tracking and DAO oversight as needed

2. Regulatory Monitoring

BIOS uses a multi-state compliance tracking system to:

Stay up-to-date with zoning, modular code, HUD, and energy requirements
Ensure tax alignment for ETHOS Fund and nonprofit partners
Prepare for inspections, public filings, and factory certifications

3. Intellectual Property Protection

BIOS has developed proprietary hemp-bamboo building systems, the BIOS Coin framework, and multiple digital tools.
We actively:

File provisional and utility patents
Register trademarks for key brands and divisions
Document innovations through internal invention disclosures

4. DAO Legal Strategy

BIOS is actively exploring legal structures for decentralized governance, including:

Forming a Wyoming DAO LLC or Public Benefit DAO
Smart contract enforceability reviews
Voter identity, staking, and treasury regulation frameworks

These efforts will allow BIOS to scale governance responsibly across ETHOS Fund deployments and community-led housing initiatives.

🧩 Alignment with Operations

The Legal & Compliance Division works hand-in-hand with our Operations team to ensure that every contract, agreement, and public initiative is backed by strong systems and defensible strategy.

BIOS Homes is an Employee-Owned Social Business Enterprise, where profitability is harmonized with a strong commitment to creating positive social impact.

As a social enterprise, BIOS Homes focuses on providing affordable, sustainable housing solutions while promoting community development and environmental responsibility. Our approach integrates social good into the very fabric of our operations, ensuring that each project not only addresses housing needs but also supports broader societal goals.

Rather than prioritizing profit above all, BIOS Homes reinvests earnings into projects that uplift underserved communities, create jobs, and champion eco-friendly construction methods. This allows us to tackle critical housing challenges while also fostering long-term positive change.

By empowering local communities and adopting sustainable living practices, BIOS Homes ensures that every project offers lasting value—benefiting both people and the planet. Our unique business model enables us to offer affordable housing solutions that go beyond financial success, making a meaningful impact on the world around us.

At BIOS Homes, we are committed to conducting business in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including those enforced by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). We fully support U.S. sanctions programs and recognize their role in promoting national security and foreign policy objectives.

While we look forward to building strong global partnerships, franchises, and trade relationships, we will not engage in business with individuals, organizations, or countries subject to U.S. sanctions unless and until such activities are fully compliant with current regulations.

BIOS Homes is proud to be a responsible, employee-owned enterprise, and we are dedicated to transparency, integrity, and lawful operations worldwide.
