"In an effort that could raise California’s minimum wage to the highest in the country, State Senator Mark Leno (D) introduced a bill this past Monday that would increase the state’s minimum wage to $11 in 2015, $12 in 2016, $13 in 2017, and finally to an annually adjusted wage tied to increases in inflation beginning in 2018. The new bill comes only months after Gov. Jerry Brown (D) signed a bill to increase the minimum wage to $9 this coming July and then to $10 in 2016."
