If I am making $6.50 now, and minimum wage is going up to $7.50 July 1st, does that mean they have to rasie my rate to $7.50? Or could they keep at $6.50

Maybe; it depends what your job is.
Here's a list of covered and exempt jobs:

Wow, a dollar increase? Nice.
They definitely have to raise it because the minimum wage is the least amount they can legally pay you per hour. That is, if you're working at a job where they have your social security number on file to pay you. Anything like babysitting, mowing lawns, etc etc does NOT fall under the minimum wage law.

Unless you are under some kind of 'trainee', or probationary period (6 months or less), then they'll have to raise your rate. Even if you were probationary or "trainee", when that period is over (soon) you'll get $7.50.

They must raise it to 7.50 when it goes up

Or they could fire you because of the raise.
