Here are the moonlighting NYC lawmakers in Albany who stand to lose the most moolah if new rules go into effect Jan. 1 limiting their outside income.

A state panel recommended giving legislators raises that will bring their current $79,500 salaries up to $130,000 by 2021, but outside earnings would be capped at 15 percent of their base salary — $19,500.

The outside-income clause led to howls of protest last week — and a lawsuit, filed Friday, that could bring the plan to a screeching halt. But if it goes through, expect the following pols to face some difficult career choices:
