Yeah, motions to table are messy to phrase.
There is a ban in the base bill.
There is an amendment to strike the ban.
Rather than voting on the amendment, the Senate votes on a motion to table the amendment (i.e., kill it).
These 24 voted against that motion.

Yeah, it's awkward because the Senate often takes up motions to table, which is a vote to kill an amendment without voting on the amendment itself.

Of the list who were against banning hemp products, these were the only ones under 60. What I got from looking up their ages is the realization of how old everyone is. LOL

Not just alcohol, but cash-rich cannabis producers in legal states who want to keep the market cornered in their dispensaries and see hemp products sold in convenience stores as an existential threat to their business.

Yes: these are people who would have supported the amendment.
I hate it when they vote to table things, sending everything into double negatives.
