Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) will make a statement on Arizona's SB 1062 on Wednesday evening.

Brewer is set to speak on the controversial measure, which would allow business owners in the state to deny service to same-sex couples on religious grounds, at 7:45 p.m. ET.

As the Associated Press reported, Brewer spent Wednesday in private meetings to discuss the bill. The governor has until Saturday to decide whether or not to veto the legislation, which the state legislature passed earlier this month.

Many Republicans have called on Brewer to veto the bill, including Arizona Sens. John McCain and Jeff Flake.
