The purpose of this proposed amendment is simple. It corrects several references to the "Declaration" of Rights to the "Bill" of Rights, and reflects the fact that the Bill of Rights was adopted concurrently with the Constitution.
 
Is this a cosmetic change or substantive? I mean is their anything to say that if this isn't changed the Bill of Rights will be less impactful?
 
I think it's really clear that it corrects the Constitution's language to reflect what actually happened when the old Declaration of Rights was separated into a separate document titled the "Bill of Rights" at the same time as the current Constitution was ratified.

If you look closely the Bill of Rights is referred to under three different titles in one Article.
