Increases California’s minimum hourly wage to $7.50, effective January 1, 2007, then to $8.25, effective January 1, 2008, and then to $8.75, effective January 1, 2009.

Directs Industrial Welfare Commission to adopt minimum wage orders consistent with this initiative. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local governments: Potential modest net reduction in annual state and local government revenues.
