redraft

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'amended bill' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to property as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'left and right behind' is the wordplay.
'left' becomes 'red' (red can informally mean communist).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'behind' becomes 'aft' (aft means towards or at the end of a ship).
'red'+'r'+'aft'='REDRAFT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for redraft that I've seen before include "Write (document) differently" , "Sketch a new plan" , "Altered document" , "Corrected version" , "Make a copy" .)
